Tell me about the primary bearing problem and what do I need to do to maintain it that is different from my other HDs? How will I know if there is a proble????? What are the symptoms? I knew that 06 was the first year of the 6 speed, but am I correct that it was the first year the Dyna went to the 96 from the 88? After reading this, I am getting a bit concerned. (Of course my last Harley had the Magnelli/Moretti EFI, so you may understand my anxiety)

All helpful comments are appreciated.

'06 has 88. Went to '96 in '07.

my '05 FXDLi is going in for cam tensioner fix next week so taking that care of. what's the frame issue you mention (I'd been told to look out for engine mount issues)

also on the look out for a good comfy solo seat that I can swap out for the factory seat when I don't have the daughter on the back...
