Had my 2020 Road Glide Special updated with the 131ci kit. I used the Ventilator Extreme and SE Street Cannons. All EPA compliant with full warranty. Dyno'd at 124hp 138tq. Very pleased with the way it runs and the power.

If you're not concerned about warranty the 131ci kit has very good potential.

I've seen posts where the labor hours charged anywhere from 12 to 20 hours.

The shop that tuned my bike said it's usually 14 hrs to install an M8 big bore kit. I did my own install.

14 hours seems a bit much. I know I can do a Twin Cam in roughly half of that.

  Is this for R and I the complete motor or is it remove the motor, disassembly clean check all parts reassembly and install motor. Clean the oil pan and get it up and running.

That's hustling.  Impressive.  I'm too old to work that hard.  I'm pretty sure I'd starve to death if I had to do this for a living.  I'm very unimpressed with myself as a slog around the garage like a turtle.
