Default Any differences between 2000 FXDL, 2004 FXDL, 2005 FXDC?

Hey guys, just wanted to know if there are any really differences between a 2000 low rider, a 2004 low rider, and a 2005 super glide custom? I have been having a difficult time finding comparisons online, and I don't know a whole lot about these models and the changes (if any). Visually I can see the 2000 has spokes, dual disks up front, gauges on the tank, and more chrome. I have only seen a 2004 online, looks to have single disk up front, and mags. and the 2005 super glide custom, has the gauge on the bars, mags, and a single rotor/caliper up front. So are there any mechanical differences between the bikes? motor, tranny, suspension, etc? Which is the better bike? Or which bike would you choose if all 3 were the same price? Thanks in advance.

So I see some votes on the poll. But why? What are the differences if any in these years and models? Anything besides what is visible to the eye? Not internal changes to the motor? I thought 03+ 88ci motors were good, but not as good as the pre 02 motors for some reason? Any insights???

The 99-02 Twin Cam's had a stronger bottom end. Better built crank and bearings.
