Hey guys, new to the site and decided to join because I had some questions. I have been driving a street rod 750 for almost a year now, I love the bike itself and I’ve always been given compliments on it but after awhile Ive been getting “used” to it. I’ve been riding the bike for over a year and I want to do something that to my knowledge hasn’t been done before after a month of research, I’m wanting to put a bigger engine like a 114 or something along those lines in the bike but i have decided before I take those steps I would like an opinion of someone who’s been in the Harley scene for awhile.

thought I would add a picture just to show what she looks like.

Big intagreated trans so you need to lengthen the frame. That solves that Idea. Bore size from a 750 to a 107 stroke is now you X'd the frame for the trans length, now stretch the frame up so the barrels fit the stroke is Y. As in why bother.

Smartest move you can make is either build a 107 from scratch, leave the 750 alone.
You would have to change pretty much everything on the bike to install an engine that is more than twice the displacement having significantly more weight, horsepower, and torque. You might be able to reuse the headlight, bars, tank, and seat with minor or no modifications. I'm thinking it would be an effort that would take a professional customizer many months of effort.

I'm thinking that most folks would have a higher chance of success and less cash outlay to start with a bigger bike that already has the engine they want. They could then bolt on the accessories that would make it more like the Street Rod.
I’m aware I’m gonna have to do a lot to the bike if I do like cut the frame and elongate the frame as a whole but I honestly think my whole problem would be wiring it all up. Honestly most of the hardware I have like the bigger engine.
