Hey, bro. Are you sure that's a good enough idea? If you have a serious problem with your native motor, you should probably get a new bike. As far as I know, there's only the option to put a new motor with the liter the old one was with. I could be wrong. Of course, you'd be better off going to a dealer. You'll get a quality job done. I don't know what state you are from. You can look up different auto repair shops here https://autoleap.com. There's a section with examples. I found an auto repair shop in my town on this site. It was a real boon.

Also recommend a crate motor. Most will recommend the S&S I found a great deal on a JIMS 131 and put in in my 2003 FXST. Very smooth on the interstate and effortless in the mountains
