Default Quick Engine Question

I am in the market for a Dyna and wondered if the 88B engine has ever been put in the dyna line and if so what year did it start. If not, is the 88B only put into the softail line?

Thanks

dyna motor is rubber mounted...no need for the balanced motor....softail motor is mounted straight to the frame hence the need for the counterbalancer. so the answers are no and yes only for softail line

If you wanna go fast, stay away from softails and "B" motors. They cant rev as high due to the balancer. It also eats up some HP.
