A good price for that would be around $1800 - $2k, with the bars I know the guy that will do it for that too, but he's in Michigan.

You can do anything from boring the stock cylinders and buying a set of pistons to spending $3000 on a real hot set up.
Do some research and decide how much you want to spend.
I spent $1200 on the Zippers Torqster kit in my wifes bike and I spent $1800 on the HeadQuarters kit in my bike and I did all the work.

I went NRHS. I put about $2400 in my build.

1250 Jugs (with pistons rung and in the jugs)
Stage 2 head work
Complete Cometic gasket kit
New set of shorter push rods
Pistons (10.5.1) Compression
SE 497 Cams
SE Programmable Race Ignition & Coil
Arlen Ness Big Sucker II
Other Mods done by me at no cost (classified)

Once I change the exhaust ($600) this winter it will put me over the 100hp mark with 90+lbs torque. The Dyno tune ($75hr) will tell the tale tho.

My bike will flat *** **** and git with no popping or misses.....ever.

I just got a quote of $1800 for the se kit at the dealer. I'm thinking about doing it over any other kit as it wont void the warranty.
