The usual stuff depending on mileage and previous owner's diligence towards maintenance. The only thing that sticks out to me is that the motor will have the old style cam chain tensioner shoes.

But it was the last year with tim... bearings. A big +
That year model is a good bike to convert into any thing. Good platform.

At 20,000 miles i seriously consider checking the tensioner's as that about the average when they die. That year does have some great things though solid one piece crank and timken bearings. It one the best twin cam motors. I either go gear drive cams or change the cam plate to hydraulic tensioners. 06 and newer heads would be a good idea too (better flow higher lift ability)
