2008 FLHTCUI Questions
So long story short, my dad had an 08 Ultra anniversary edition, he crashed it and didn't survive. I want to build the bike back up but the frame suffered some damage one tab was bent and the tubes bounced off of the motor mount that is on the front jug. From just looking at it, it seems straight but with only 2 wheels I don't want to chance it.
I ride, but not a Harley so I am wondering are there any 08 frames that are interchangeable or is this a part I will be forced to buy from the stealership. I want to keep costs down as much as possible because I still need to buy all the body parts except for one bag and rear fender. And if anyone knows of where I can get a clean titled frame or a bunch of parts it would be greatly appreciated

Sorry to hear of your loss.
A buddy went through the same thing, and survived.
You can get a new frame from the MoCo with originl vin #, but, they are a Proud company and it's not cheap.
Around 1K if memory serves me correctly, and then you do the parts swapping.

I did check out HD and they have them for around 1700. But if they use the same vin wouldn't it still come up as totoaled since this title is susposed to be "junked" (ins payed out but I kept the bike and the titile, not sure if they notify the dmv)?
I was looking on ebay but couldn't find an 08 frame and I did learn that the tank in 08 is bigger than the earlier years so my parts wouldn't fit on an older frame. And the other frames I found were twisted worse than the one I have now.

The seat mount and fuel tank are specific to the 08 but the basic frame is the same for several years. Possible to get an older frame and cut and weld on the necessary mounts from your frame if they are undamaged. Motor vin and frame vin won't match tho. Or get a frame from the MoCo so everything matches.

You can interchange inner fairings, but the street glide one would have holes for the fairing mirrors. I have an 08 ultra anniversary and can assist you in you venture should you need any literature, etc. If you we're closer, I'd help ya do the work. Big undertaking, but not difficult.

I also had another question about fairings, a 97 fairing will that fit on a 08? I found one on ebay and they say it does but I don't trust a lot of people on ebay.
Also what other parts are interchangeable between years and models, or is there somewhere I can look to find out?
Thanks again

Inner fairing or outer fairing? The outer will fit and is the same. The inner would fit also, but there are differences between the two inners. Most parts 97 and later will fit except for the tank and seat.

I don't need to find a seat, luckily, I did find a tank but it was for a Screaming Eagle and the guy wanted $900 but I am going to repaint it anyway so it seems pricy for what I am going to do with it. So the search will continue ...
