Have a friend considering swapping his wife's 883 engine on her sportster for a 1203 thunderstorm. Just wanna see if ne r availible and how much???

Is this an easy swap to do??? I have a co-worker thinking of doing the same thing to his 883 Iron.
 
I SHOULD HAVE ASKED... full assembly tranny engine ECM the hole deal. I'm assuming 1600-2000 is just for the engine.



well my thoughts are there are only a few problems. First fuel injection... obviously buell downdraft set up wont work on a sportster, but if u could either jet the stock carb off the sprtstr or tune the fuel inj. from it to suit the buell motor. Also the ECM whether its compatible with a harley gauge cluster. then final drive belt, but should be a simple enuff deal either use the harley front pully on the buell tranny or the buell pully on the harley wheel(dunno if thats possible) other than that i havent looked much further into it.

I dunno if it would b cheaper to build ur own buell engine... buy cams, thunderstorm heads, harley 1200 kit, and tune the harley fuel inj. or jet carb.
 
For the F.I. just use a x1 intake assembly.
The front pulley would be the same. Rear pulley has different mount hole pattern. HD and tuber 5, xb 6.
