Default FLHTCUI Frame changes over the years?

Looking to start a custom restoration project on a 1997 FLHTCUI. Mainly, I'd like to turn it into a road glide style bagger with a wide tire kit and very late model drive train.

Doable on a '97 frame?

thanks.

Doable? ya, but.........Gonna need a new swing arm and modify eng/tran mount to accept twin cam 96 w/ 6-spd for starters. Think I would keep it as a 97 or go to a new frame.
