and then the I believe the ring gear is larger on the primary 94 and up so you would probably need a newer style clutch primary and longer primary chain and probably a compensator because the primary gearing is different, if you used newer primary covers

Looked into this, since not alot of response here. The starter bolts on directly. The 1990 coupling, drive pinion bolt, and lock washer has to be used.
The one thing that won't bolt on is the chrome cover. I had to make a bracket to keep it , not that big a deal.

The `05 starter fit into the opening in the inner primary cover ok?
I have always thought the opening size changed in the `90`s...
Another `89 Softail owner

1988 and earlier use a different starter configuration, `89 and later are not compatible with the earlier setup.
