Being new to Buell ownership, what is the process for Buell motors? Do they leave HD and the get disassembled at Buell or does Buell get the motors already hot rodded? Since all of the HD models have around 60 HP what is done to pump the Buell to 103? Is this simply the "screamin eagle" hop up kit?

Sportster engines and buell engines are made in the Milwaukee plant.
(I took the tour before the 2007 openhouse and got to see the new engines before they were released)

They are manufactured the same place but are different engines.

It's much more than just a "kit".

Buell engines are fully assembled by Harley prior to shipping to Buell. For technical differences between the Sportster and XB engines, check out this thread - http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/304803.html?1189227718
