Default Engine and tranny swap
I have an 06 road king with an 88ci, trying to swap an 07 96ci and 6 speed tranny into it. What issues should i consider. Also I'm wanting to put a Fuel Moto 107" kit in. Is this possible? Thanks Travis

With enough time and money, anything will work; JMHO but way more trouble than it's worth. Sell the 96" motor and trans and build a 115/110 98" motor from the 88"er. Start watching Ebay and search dealers for an SE six speed gear set.

The 88" primary will not work with the 96" engine/trans.

Will the 07 six speed bolt up to the 06 motor? Or Will i have to change the insides of the 5 speed.

If the '06 motor is from a Dyna, then yes. If not, then no.
