Default Engine replacement

Hey guys. My B . I . L . has a 08 streetglide with 95km on it and the crank just went south. It will cost over 5 grand to rebuild it the right way, a lot for a older bike so we were thinking a low km drop in take out. What years will fit either a 96 or 103. He isn"t a speed demon just wants to ride. thanks.

Except for water cooled motors

In some states you'll have to deal with title issues. Mis matched numbers. Be careful with documentation on the replacement motor

I recently did an 88" swap out for a friend on mine that came to $2800.00 installed.. Depending on how much damage there is to the motor you can replace just the crankshaft for less than that..
