97 Road King Transmission question...........
Turns out my 97 Road Kings transmissions second gear is making all kinds of noise so I am trying to find out what other model years are compatible. I found a nice low mileage 2005 Softail 5 speed and was hopping it would change out with out much modification. Any information regarding this swap would be appreciated.

Thank you.
Thanks for the Welcome and the Fast Reply, but what I am trying to find out is whether or not I can swap out the the entire 05 Softail transmission, case and all since I don't have the specialty tools required to rebuild the tranny now in it.

no
the touring and dyna tranny cases incorporate the engine oil tank beneath....the softail tranny is not a direct swap.
the smart thing to do is to look at swapping in a new gearset- the gears come out as a "cassette".
riders who upgrade to a 6 speed often have their old gearsets for sale ( craigslist)...or YOU could swap to a 6 speed with either close ratio ( 1:1 final) or an overdrive 6th - .86 Final
