Maybe already asked.

Can an M8 be retrofitted in place of a Twin Cam motor??

47549-09A   REAR FORK, with 9208, 11779 and 48489-02
61356-08   FUEL TANK (prime)

The frame number isn't given.
However, the fuel tank is the same from 2008, the rear frame and swing arm are 2009, footboard mounting parts are 1982, 2004 etc.
I'm sure it won't be a straight bolt-in but you just _might_ be able to do it!

I tuned a 2013 RG with a Softail engine in it .. So anything can be done.

The engine and tranny with longer primary, or just the engine with counterbalancers?

Complete engine and trans primary from a softail.. He like the look of the long primary was the reason he gave me for building it.

Interesting.  As a taller guy, I've pondered this very project to give myself a little more "cabin space".  I figured it wouldn't be worth it after all was said and done, but it's nice to know I wasn't the only one with crazy ideas!

He had a new frame built and it was very cool , odd to have a bagger not shake at the light .. The engine was a 113 CI so it had plenty of get up and go as well..  When you first see it you have to look twice.. I never did ask on the cost but I am sure that it was not a cheap project by any means.
