06-07 SuperGlide Purchace Q's

Looking at a couple Super Glides in the 06-07 range- If anyone has any info I sure would be grateful for any Issues or info. I have a line n a nearly new 35th Anniversary SG w 2700mi I worry about all the down time and the few starts it got weren't often enough for avoiding dry starts.
I know[?] 06 was first yeat for 6 speed-any problems ?
Do you thing a 35th anniversary is worth much more than a regular 06-07 ?
I fell for SG's in 71 and have my 79 now and will NEVER part but for the long haul she is getting old. Thanks for any input you can provide.

Somebody'll chime in about the stator issue on the 06's, but that can be fixed easily. I'm a big, longtime fan of Superglides like you. The white 35th is a sharp bike, I wish I owned one. You should post more, larger pictures of your 79.

Good luck,
Mike

'06 had stator issues and inner primary bearing problems. If you can turn a wrench you can fix both of these for less than $100 before they give you problems.

Where is that thread? New parts would cost more than $100, no? Hope I'm wrong.

If you find an '06 with a 95" upgrade and the stator/IPB issues already fixed, I'd get it over an '07 with a stock 96".
