Default Street Bob any good?

Dealer has left over 12 street Bob. I think it would go good with my Sportster. I have searched on here and it seems that the 96ci twin cams have had some trouble. If I was to leave the motor bone stock do you think it would go 50000 miles before a rebuild with scheduled maintenance?

I had an '11 and liked it a lot. If I were buying now I would be tempted by the '13's, the ignition is in the console and the rear fender has been cleaned up (and a lot of dealers order them through the custom program with a 103).

The 96" TC has been well sorted out for quite a few model years now - they're rock solid. They also run a little smoother than the 103" and a little cooler. (For some reason, HD foregoes an oil cooler on the 103" Dynas - unlike the touring models.)

The only significant difference between the '12 and '13 is the ability to customize the '13 through the H-D1 program. However, that can get expensive REAL quickly and requires that you upgrade to the 103".

In any event, the Street Bob rocks! (I've had two.)

My 09 continues to be rock solid,
I'd buy another in a heart beat.
Bought mine as a new leftover. Great price.
I went from an 07 XL1200 and this bike had to get forwards and then it fit like a glove.
