Can someone tell me if the mounting locations are the same on a 08 frame and a 06 in other words can I put a 08 motor and tranny on my 06 ultra

 

Best if you ask that one in the General chat or Touring section...

Welcome to the Forum

Yeah oct1949 is correct for finding your answer.

 

thanks

thanks

 

I would expect someone in here should be able to answer this query - the next best would be the Tech Engine section, where some of our experts hang out!

 

I don't believe it is a direct swap. '06 had an 88 engine with a 5 speed, In 07 hd switched to the 96 engine and 6 speed tranny. I believe mounting points changed some at that time.

 

that's what my concern was..thanks

 

You can use motor, tranny and primary from an 08 on an 06 bagger and all will match up but you have to swap it as a group. You will also need the starter.. You can't mate an 07-up bagger motor to a 5 speed HD tranny.. When doing the swap, you will need to check clearance between left swing arm bracket and primary case. Might have to use a later (07 up) bracket.

08 used FBW throttle body so you need to TB of an 06/07..

 

That is what i was trying to remember. You cannot swap just the engine...
