Default 103ci A Motor Interchangeable??

Hi how's it going. Working on my first build and picked up a 103 A motor out of a 2010 Electra Glide. Looking for a frame that's interchangeable with this motor. Other than the Electra Glide.

Motor will fit in a Dyna no sweat.. Will need a Dyna 06-up tranny/primary.. You can also use an aftermarket FXR frame set up for twin cams if you use a 07-up bagger tranny / primary.. Its also possible to fit it to any evo using an adapter plate. IIRC you need to run without a crank compensator tho.

I don't really know.. The pic in my avitar is an FXR frame from Santee, which wasn't too bad. It was an Evo frame tho and I reworked to fit a Twincam. Santee went out of business in about 2006-7 when CCI went into bankruptcy. I used a 99/06 twincam drive train.. There is a guy over on Harley Tech Talk that goes buy the name of Turboprop. He's a bit of an FXR fanatic. He would know. Sign up over there and as in General or PM him.
