You need to get a clear, articulate idea of what you want out of the project , list what you have a available then post back in here. There's a solid knowledge base in here just a matter of sifting through to figure out who actually knows and listening to what they advise.

Wait..what? You are going to use your twin cam motor? Sorry, but it won’t fit. First there are no 4 speed transmissions that will bolt up to your twincam. And really anything you do find that will mount to the motor won’t mount to the frame...not with out some serious fabrication...
if you read Hot Bike mag, there was a series where an M8 power train was mounted into a FXR frame, but they had a full custom frame and swing arm made just for the project.
or...am I completely missing your point and you are buying an FXR that is just missing a transmission but has everything else including the EVO motor?

Love to see some pics...I know the stock FXR primary and the touring primary were pretty much the same, but your saying that a twin cam with a FL transmission will bolt right into an FRX frame with out mods to either the frame or the transmission? If that's the case wouldn't the OP be better off just finding a complete transmission from a wrecked bagger and use that with his motor? Then anything 99 to 2005 should work?
