Engine Replacement

Hey zkeisler
Just to give general idea of the cost of the kind of upgrades your considering here's the route I took. I have a 2001 Heritage, my second Heritage, and I really like the look of the Heritage models so I wanted to work with what I have. My first upgrade was to a 96", ported heads, reaper cams, and a D&D pipe. The dealers dyno sheet claimed 98 hp and 107 tq. This cost me about $3500 and was a blast to ride! I trust my mechanic and he said these modifications would not have much of an impact on the life of the motor. I got some unexpected money and decide if that 96" was so much fun a 117" had to be great, I am still putting it together but just for a reference, using my crank case and heads with more mods and a baker 6 speed cost me around $10,000. The $3500 version might be enough to keep a smile on your face. That being said I was at a dealership in Kentucky last month and they had 2016 Heritages starting at a little over $20,000

You have the Timken bearing bottom end so if I were you I would have a 124 kit put on my stock lower end. Better in several ways cause you keep your stock numbers on the case and have your heads ported for the sleuth look. With that engine the 6 speed isn't necessary unless your going for an overdrive unit. Also remember the rest of the bike needs upgraded as in better brakes; huskier clutch; bigger carb; bigger pipes; etc. I ended up with about 12k in a Fatboy(doing what your thinking about) that was worth about 12k so don't expect to get a .10 on the dollar if you sell.
