I know the 99 have the tc-88 motor and they had problems with the cam bearings. Just replaced mine. The 98 has the evo right?

Thats the last year of the Evo Dyna's so they don't bring very much cash now a days. 5K is about all any one is getting for Evo Superglides. I paid $5,500 for my Low Rider 2 years ago with less than half the miles. The only issue with Evo's is you need to replace the cam bearings. Its a cheap fix but they don't last much over 50K and most people like to replace them by 30ish. They are great bikes and easy to work on if they do have issues. Give it the basic test ride, look for leaks, smoke and noises. If all is good, ****** the sucker up.
