You probably have the minimums for a 1915 engine , this is the spec list I use when I have a budget engine built for me by Bug Stuff in West  Brownsville PA.  1915 full flow case with case savers. Balance a German forged 69mm counterweighted crank,  rods and flywheel as a unit.  Engel 110 camshaft. Good quality piston ring set. 8:1 compression . Teflon buttons, 044 heads, high rev springs, solid rocker shafts.  HD oil pump, 40mm Weber carbs ( Solex - Brosal are also fine / jetted properly but you'll have a debate :`)  Good quality distributor. External oil filter and cooler w/ fan, quality exhaust system .  This engine is a budget build and IMHO the best build for the bucks ..it will pull to 6,000 RPM's w/ approx. 90 + HP.  A lightened flywheel is over hyped and money wasted.

The 1915cc delivered in my 2013 VS was as Wolfgang describes - a dead stock (1600) motor with larger bore P&C, but neither the heads, exhaust, crank, or cam to take advantage of the larger displacement. Quality of the parts wasn't stellar, either.

VS would install a decent engine as an option, but you had to know what to ask for.

If you want more details, send me a PM.

Keep in mind that the 'budget' build Alan describes is light years better than what VS usually delivered as their 'standard' 1915 engine.
