Installation Notes:
Ultima
®
Engines should be installed by a trained professional mechanic into a motorcycle for which its use was intended. Failure to do so
may result in injury and even death. It is the customer’s responsibility to insure their mechanic has proper training.
Fitment and Clearance Issues:
Every effort has been made to insure these engines will install into most available frame models without modifications. Some of the known
fitment issues we have encountered are listed below. Please read these carefully as they will aid in installation.
Fitment Issues: All Crank Cases
1. Ultima
®
crank cases are designed to fit most OEM motorcycles built from 1984-1999 using Evolution
®
style engines. On rubber mounted
engines please check that the front engine mount bracket weld or tab does not interfere with the case before final torque of the engine
mount bolts — clearance the bracket if needed.
2. On most FXR
®
or bikes using midshift controls it may be necessary to clearance the case for the inner shift arm.
Fitment Issues: Cylinder 100-107-113-120-127 Ci
1. On some frames using offset engines and forward controls it may be necessary to space the inner shift arm or the shifter mounting bracket
away from the front cylinder fins to provide adequate clearance between the shift arm or rod and the cylinder fins.
Fitment Issues: Cylinder Heads 100-107-113-120-127 Ci
1. If installing these engines into a Stock Style Softail
®
type frames it will be necessary to relocate the coil and bracket.
Fitment Issues: All 130 & 140 Ci
1. The Ultima
®
130 Ci and 140 Ci engines are over 5/8” taller than a stock engine. These engines will fit in most Ultima
®
frames but other
aftermarket manufactured frames must be checked for fitment. All fitment issues for 113Ci thru 127 Ci engines apply to the 130 Ci and 140 Ci.
The Ultima
®
130 Ci and 140 Ci will require VERY heavy duty drive train components.
