The bit where one of you puts the engine in the bike and tells us how it works out! Don't think I'm going down the same path any time soon!

I was just joking. Most back yard builders have doomed it to failure already.

Auto zone is dealer and you get paperwork with engine block when you purchase?
Grow up? WTF? What the heck does that have to do with anything?

Update: Engine showed up way earlier than dealer expected! Started install late yesterday afternoon, should be completed early next week. Here are a couple pics I took last night. That stock 96" sure is gonna be a cool centerpiece for my living room coffee table....

The cover between the breather housing and the throttle body is backwards. The large tab is facing front when it should be facing towards the back of the bike.

Hey Guys, thought I'd jump into the fray here!
Just took delivery of a 2011 Road Glide Custom, worked the SE 120R into the deal. Dealer is expecting the engine in about 3 weeks (all the accompanying parts are in, just waiting on the motor itself). I've attached a copy of the parts list with prices so I could get some of your thoughts. There is one change I made not reflected in the list; I'm going with a Thundermax/Zippers Auto Tuner instead of the SE race tuner. Dealer is installing everything, and I'll try to keep you updated if anyone is interested.

OK maybe I should have said in my state you need a vin on the engine not just the frame. When you build a custom bike you need a valid vin number from the motor as well as the frame.
Auto zone is dealer and you get paperwork with engine block when you purchase?

My state is Frame. Your state is engine and frame. That is too bad. That sucks. I guess it's good if they stole "your" car or bike, but I bet they still steal them where you live, so they just make things harder for law abiding people like yourself.
I read the Cali registration app and it is true that they ask for it like you say, so I stand corrected. Here are your actual choices.
VIN/ENGINE NUMBER (IF MOTORCYCLE, MARK BOTH VIN AND ENG. BOXES)
VIN ENG Appears okay Altered/Tampered
VIN ENG Illegible/Damaged Missing
VIN ENG Cannot locate None—Newly built
VIN ENG Assigned by F/O See REMARKS
And since I heard the paper work on this engine says for race use only, I guess Cali and some others might be out of luck. I'll let you know what it says Monday unless someone else already has theirs. I'm curious too.
My Missouri app say vin number. I have swapped many engines in my life time. We were so poor that it was cheaper to run our old car engines out of oil until they blew up, because we didn't have money for oil, then go to the junk yard and grab another engine. That's a slight exaggeration, but I've been thru a lot of engines back in the day.
Peace, I meant you no harm.

You were absolutely right! The tech working on the bike says he realized the mistake minutes after I took the pic. Thanks!
