Download a copy of the Engine Owners Manual. There is a section in there that deals with fitment issues. One issue taht is not covered is fuel tank/carb clearance, that can be close on some models. We've installed a few, so feel free to contact us with any issues you might have. There are others on here that have installed a few also, so we should be able to answer most of your questions. Hope this helps.

Looks like we should start a Ultima Forum,,, Anyone game,,, I am a distributor for Ultima in Canada, it would be good for us Canadians to know more about these engines as there are more bikes down south....All we get is rumors it seems, Imyself have been running these engines for 8 years in numerous bikes , and no problems yet to my knowlege, I think it all come down to respect for your bike too, break them in right and then ride them like you stole them if need be..

I had to clearance the front down tubes by about 1/4" on my 87 Heritage when I dropped in a 113". Used a grinder to thin the wall just slightly and a ball peen hammer to create the dimple. Sounds a bit scary, but really nothing to it.
