Question for you all.
is there a year or years to stay away from in the Dyna line.
i used to have a Sportster and the years to stay away from were the old iron heads like 85 and older (if i remember right) but the Evo motors from 86 and up were ok and reliable.
the one i had was a 94 XL883H and lookin for another bike here very soon and wanted to make sure on what im lookin for if a deal comes my way

The '06's are the ones with a few problems. Nothing that can't be fixed and probably already has been. Like was said before, the inner primary bearing can go out and the 2 piece rotor eventually fails and destroys the stator. On my bike, I've replaced both as preventative measures and have not had any issues at all.

I dont know but I hear the 02's have the forged crank and lefty bearing. It would make for a solid 95" or 98" build. Of course you have to inspect ant pre 07's for cam chain tensioner issues that have more than 20,000 miles.
