And I'd be buying a take off 103. If I could find a lightly used one from a reputable seller, like a dealer say, I'd be all over it. I'd even consider an ebay seller with a high positive rating. Hell, there's one there right now for about $2750 with 3 miles on it. Seller has over 1000 ratings at 99.9% positive. There's another with 3000 miles for $1700 plus a couple hundred shipping. That seller has 700 reviews at 100% positive. Damn right I'd buy one of those before I spent $5-$7k on an engine.
But that's me, others wants, needs and desires may make that extra $3-$5k worth it...

I did do a quick search and turned up several.

There's one a ways down the first page for $1749.99 + $250 shipping with 4842 miles and a 60 day guarantee out of an 11 Street Glide. It's in the Orlando area.

You do have another option that I dont see ..
Part it that is if you have a place to keep it and tear it down. Post on craigslist in every major city within 1000 mile radius. Keep parts very reasonable.
I did this with a 96 Sebring convertible. I had one that was basically a clunker that needed work. I bought a wreck for $400 bucks. I took the parts I needed then I hit craigslist, created a free web page and a paypal account. Everyone was laughing at me. EVERYONE. I got the parts I needed to fix up my 96 sebring and stopped counting at $1200 in parts that I sold. This didnt include the money I got for aluminium, brass, copper, battery, radiator, catalytic converter, skeleton etc etc. I kept a log and shut everyone up. Friends, boss, coworkers, and yep, even the ol ball and chain. I kept all of my parts under $50.
