Default 1997 Dyna wide glide purchase (should I)

I am looking at a 97 Wide Glide with 12,000 miles. Is there any reason I shouldn't buy it. Is there any reason I should not pass it up? Not an issue of price but more a question of reliably, comfort, quirks etc. I don't want to get into a model that has a history of problems.

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope.

Eric

The Evo Dyna's are fantastic motorcycles. With that low miles it should be trouble free for years. Eventually you should get the cam bearing upgraded but other than that its as good a Dyna as any. If you can get it cheap, thats even better. Remember, its a 15 year old bike, don't pay a giant wad of cash for the thing.
