2004 Carb'd swapping to 2012 1200 with FI...
I have a 2004 carb'ed 883, I was looking for an engine for it, and found a 2012 1200 with FI for a decent price.
I figured I would have to use the 2012 wiring harness, with the speedo, etc.
What things should I look out for putting the engine in the '04?

I believe in K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid. Yer looking at it the WRONG WAY!!!! Don't convert an 04 CARB'd 883 to EFI. Convert an EFI engine to a CARB. Look into HAMMER PERFORMANCE for the EFI to CARB intake manifold. Both engines ignition is triggered by a Crankshaft Position Sensor. Just take off all the EFI crap and enjoy it.

883 has a bad rod knock, rear con rod has about 1/8" play up/down.
Original plan was to get another engine for the bike, and found the 2012 1200 for under $1000 (police impound, non-title-able police/towing contractor bill of sale/release).
I figured eventually I wanted to go 1200 on it, and this was an all-in-one solution.
