Hmmm, I just bought my FXR out of Indiana this past April. AAA said they couldn't do the VIN inspection for me. I had to get it inspected by DMV. So either they stopped allowing AAA to do the inspections, or I got wrong information from them again.

When or if I do swap the motor, I'll certainly call and ask. Anything beats dealing with CA DMV.

BTW, your FXR is looking great! Be on the road soon?

Real soon. I could actually ride it now, but I'm waiting for some parts on the speedo/tach setup. I want to accurately track my miles, and monitor my revs carefully during the break in process.

Sweet, I'll bet you're stoked. Hopefully you'll post a bunch of pics. That thing's looking great!

This is crazy, I just got a quote from the dealer a week ago to do the reman program.

I was on the fence though since they quoted me $1200 bucks in labor....and you HAD to have them pull the engine to get the warranty. $4g's for the evo reman vs. about the same for a beefed up S&S. Guess that decision was made for me!

I also think that Ultima has a pretty good reman program for EVO's, I think they charge $2g's to do the whole thing.

Yep ... and it's been that way since way back in the day ... many hard nosed cops will hook one up and drag it in until all the paperwork jives ... been there and done that. tmanbuckhunter hasn't had the pleasure yet.
