Oh yeah; I had a 111hp/117ft lb 103 in my '01 FXDXT; was 50K+ on it when sold and it was leakdown and comp tested; passed easily...depends on the build and the rider...a stocker can be thrashed in that many miles

That's a good bike, has a mikuni too. I don't think the price is all that high if it has what you said. The S & S mufflers on stock head pipes with crossover is not a bad exhaust at all. The air cleaner on that mikuni is not so great. SE heavy breather will do much better. Mileage is no worry. I have a 95" dyna that has almost 70,000 miles and runs just as good as the day the engine was built. With all that in the motor i would go ahead and install gear drive cams. The stock tensioners will not last long with that 103. I put gear drive cams in when i built my motor and never worried about it again. The rear shocks need to be checked for fluid leakage. If they are bad, replacements are still available but cost almost $600. Ask me how i know. It would be good to ask what has been done to the ignition. It would either have needed a SE ignition tuner or an aftermarket module.

did you end up going through with it. If you can get that bike in the low 6s, that is a good deal even if stock.

He must have not got it. It's still on the dealer's website. If i didn't have one already i would sure enough buy it.

I'm trying to get up to see it and make the deal. Also have a line on an 02 FXDXT with 7000 miles for $7400. Trying to look at both and deal with Christmas and the fact that I have bronchitis. Here's to hoping.

01 FXDXT engine heavy modded @ 13K
Picture takes over a year ago, still pulling strong
If the engine has been upgraded the cam tensioner has most likely been upgraded also
Hope this helps (this is my ol mans T not mine)

If you wouldn't mind Pming me about this that would be great. I was planning on shooting down there to try n buy cash but I won't waste my time if he won't budge. Also to the OP, what did they have to say about the cam tensioners??
