I bought my 2008 Bonneville Black new from Motor Cycle Center in Villa Park, IL (near Chicago) in the summer of 2008. After riding it and modifying it for a number of years I reached over 63,000 miles and it needed a valve job. So, I decided to send the entire engine to Bill Gately of Bonneville Performance, for a complete engine overhaul and upgrade/modification! After discussion with Bill, we decided that my final rebuilt engine would have the same spec’s as the BP 1100cc crate engine, including:

- New bearings
- New oil pump
- Billet cylinders with Nikasil lining
- BP performance head porting with BP valve train
- BP Cams
- Crankshaft dynamically balanced
- All paper and MLS gaskets
