Default Transmission Info

First off I like to mention I know very little about HD and really only interested in there transmission setup. I have a project I am brainstorming/putting together and am looking for some information.

So my plan is too put a 600cc two stroke snowmobile motor into a motorcycle. Its going to be a 70s/80s Japanese cafe racer styled bike. So if you don't know, snowmobiles dont use a standerd shifting transmission. They use a CVT setup, wich imo would be really stupid for a motorcycle and no fun.

That were it comes into play of me needing a pre-unit construction transmission. Harley seems to be the way to go because there everywhere and the older triumphs dont have the clutches with the Transmission.

What Im looking for: cheap, dry clutch on tranny side, hold 100hp+, preferably with kick start.

Start with an 1990-1999 Evolution softail transmission they are stand alone where other models require them to be bolted to the motor and the swing arm.

Where would be the best place to find a used one of these? Ebay seems to be generally in the $400-$600 range for transmisions.

How much is a new one?! That seems a reasonable price. If you don't want to pay that much you could find yourself looking for a long time, unless you get lucky.
