No in that one I was just going to try and convert to carb. But I'm thinking I just want to take my motor off my Dyna and put it on the ultra classic. It has been punched out so much and it's carb . So the conversion to carb would not be needed. I like the way the ultra rides compared to my Dyna . I was hit head on in 2020. And about had my right leg torn off at the knee. So the ultra is just easier to handle cause it's Been lowered . And seems to be way more balanced than the dyna which seems to be set up to be a stunt bike. Much taller and harder for me to ride. When the thought of selling one comes to mind it's the dyna I'd decide on. But there's been so much work done to the motor I want to keep it. So I want to swap and sell the dyna with the 96 off the ultra in its place. Make sence ?

I looked on a Harley parts finder and those two bikes have the same engine case so they should physically be exchangeable between the two.

Just an observation, it would probably be easier to get answers and advice from a group of Harley Davidson enthusiasts if you didn’t have a user name of Harleyisstupid. I mean sometimes HD pisses me off too, nothing is perfect but I don’t think your user name comes off well to most people on here. Unless your goal is to stir up haters, smart asses, and the ensuing drama that comes with it, then by all means, continue.

I have to dig it up but have a picture of a Sporty with a Kohler engine and HD 4 speed in it and it works. Last time I saw it it was sitting in a bar in Wisconsin.
Point being you can do most anything with or to a Harley. If you have some tools,a welder , touch and desire.
