Just wondering if a Sportster crank will readily swap into an '06 Ulysses motor...
Why? well if I open up the bottom end someday it might just be a sweet modification... adding flywheel mass... not the Buell formula, I dig, but useful for an adventure touring bike... would make low end operation smoother and more controllable yet will allow the tall stock gearing to be left in place for racking up freeway miles.

the old buells had heavy rotating mass, good low end torque and long lasting motors.. could be interesting..
