Hey guys,
So I have a '98 FXD that I picked up cheap. Was hoping to swap the motor over into a hardtail frame this winter.
I can see that with the oil pan underneath the transmission, it won't be able to bolt up to anything with a mounting plate. My three biggest questions are-
1. Will a softail transmission be compatible with the motor? Hoping to do a 5 speed with electric and possibly kick start
2. Will I need a new inner primary, and if so, will I need a new clutch hub, comp sprocket, etc?
3. Is it possible to plumb oil lines from an external tank instead of the pan underneath the factory transmission?
Thanks guys!
