S&S Crate vs Harley Davidson 110 CVO rebuild???

Well it finally happened.
Which would be better
2012 CVO convertible
110ci 65k miles

acevtwin:
I am curious, did your 110 scatter? Had you changed out the lifters at any time or?

Ironhorse:
I had the same thoughts when it was time for my engine.  I settled on rebuilding the HD 103 only for convenience.  If the S&S crate motor has issues while touring, some dealerships might be hesitant work on it. But at least they know an HD engine.

That may be true or not be true, but that was my thinking.

In any event Jim at Metal Dragon rebuilt it at 83k and it now has 112k with no issues.

Finster101:
From what I have seen hanging around at my local indie shop of S&S quality of late, I would rebuild the Harley motor.

Not knowing the indy experience, or skill, I would call S&S, and feel them out. They are straight shooters, and may even recommend someone in your area. My experience with S&S crate engines has been good. There may be some minor extra work, to make the S&S engine a drop in.
