If there's any doubt in your mind don't sell your bike. Find a way to save the money and get the DX as a second. I want a second bike, but can't afford or rationalize owning two right now so I'll wait until I can.

Just to be clear, it's the 2000 and up that had the narrower belt (1 1/8" vs. 1 1/2"), to accommodate the wider tire. Apparently the belt construction was altered to be stronger at the same time...

Also, I believe the 99's had standard forks, not the adjustable ones. If that makes a difference to you.

The '99 is just basically a blacked out trim option...

Aftermarket has never been better. At least for what I've got going on.

There are only 2 kinds of bikes. There are FXDX's and then there are the slugs getting passed.

So I am just getting really serious about this idea and check out what pops up near by. '01 with an S&S 106". 60,000 miles, but only 3000 on new motor. OG T-sport. Dude wants about $10,750 USD.

Nice, but seems expensive... Maybe I shouldn't tell you what I paid for mine!
