Looking at their website, it doesn't look like they do Twin Cam.
If I have to go through all this I might as well stroke the motor.  Otherwise trade it for a '14 Street Glide. 
Although the bike is 13 years old, it's in perfect condition. 
Decisions decisions!

Worth a little arithmetic homework before you get in too deep.  A few here have crunched the numbers and found that after crank work, case boring, doing everything else and labor they were money ahead to buy a 120R and get something larger than they would have bored to in the process.

That's the thing about living in the Black Hills.  The Sturgis Rally means no service work for us locals for the whole month of August.  The sales manager just took off for three weeks of vacation.  They have had my bike for over a week, and I still don't know what is going on with it.
Plenty of time to weigh my options.
-Definitely looking at the whole new engine option. 
Thank God I have another bike to ride.

The suspense is over.  I traded it today for a 2014 Street Glide Special.

Nobody's business, but I would love to know what they allowed you?

It's hard to tell.  It seems to come out to about $8,500.
I should point out that the problem ended up being failed cam bearings and not a crank issue.  The repair bill was only about $1,300.

Not that anybody cares, but the reason I traded off is that this was the second time cam bearings have failed on this bike.
