Hydralic tensioners introduced on Dyna's in 06. The remainder of the big twins in 06 had the tensioner and cam bearing set up prone to problems.

Thanks for your correction lol, Dyna is always ahead of the game. What about 06 SB primary drive inner bearing? I heard problems here and there.

Alright. Thanks for clarifying. I agree with you on the tail light. I was thinking of putting a tombstone led on but honestly the bike doesn't need much as far as customizing. I changed the pegs,grips,levers,all the covers and gas cap to the Willie G skulls but the style and looks just really make the bike special in my eyes. Sure many were built but I feel an attachment to mine. One of Harleys greatest moves building the street bob.
The only comfort mods I've done are a mustang seat(highly recommend) and a 4" riser. The riser and seat eliminated my back pain and I am back more in the saddle which makes the highway pegs perfect.
Great bike.

Default fo you streetbob owners:
heres a review about the 2012 streetbob. its nothing new, i know, but the video provides a good deal of "motorcycle ****". the article that goes with it does some comparision between the street bob and the vic highball.

I couldn't agree more!

Also, IMO if there is a Street Bob out there and is being riding hard like it should, that is the best year to have because they are all bad ***!
