Engine replacement
I am new to this site and hoping someone can help. I have a stock 2003 Road King TC88 and am looking to replace the engine with an Ultima 127ci. Does anyone know of any potential problems I may encounter? My Road King is injected and the replacement will be carburated.

RE: Engine replacement
Biggest extra I can think of will be the fuel supply. You won't need a fuel pump, but you will need a petcock. Other than that, Ultima makes a good motor & stands behind 'em so you should enjoy the hell out of it!

Not sure, but you might have to make some mods to the CPU. I'm not a techie so couldn't say for sure. I would guess that as long as you don't hook up any O2 sensors that the CPU shouldn't be a problem either. Oh, and what everyone else has already said.
