Post Wiring harness

Can I put a 2013 Dyna street Bob motor into a 2007 Dyna super glide frame without switiching out the wiring harness…please note that the motor I took out of the super glide was 96 cubic motor and trying to put in a 103

The 103 has auto compression releases from the factory, it would depend on whether your stock harness has the connectors for the sub harnesses that run to the ACR's. At a minimum you'd need the sub harnesses for the ACR's and also have the ECU reflashed to operate the ACR's, otherwise hot starts are gonna be a MF'r.

It definitely can be done though regardless, only a question of how bad you want it to work and the resultant effort required to make it work.

I was trying to avoid switching the wire harnesses cause I heard it would be a pain but I am going to just switch the harnesses…since I have the harness for the 103ci, just wonder how difficult that will be

Depends on your skill level honestly. I have seen a harness replaced, numerous times at the HD dealer I worked for, and it is a TON of work man. It of course like any repair is possible but it is a particularly involved and lengthy repair for sure.

Well all I have to do is the pull it thru the back bone of the frame if u understand what I am referring to…I am going to de-pin the plugs so it's easier to pull thru! Any recommendations

I do understand but no, unfortunately no suggestions. I do 90% of my own work but that's not something I'd tackle myself. A service manual would be a great resource I'd think? I'd bet there may even be information on this site somewhere that would help.

The 07's use a serial bus wiring system and I believe the 13's use the canbus system. Could be a problem.
