Yes mine was about 8500 which is about average. The motor for pre 06 is also $500 more.

After having it a few weeks I am thinking of changing to mid range cams. The cam that come with it are really high. While its great at hwy riding, lower speed turns are not as smooth as I would like. Turns at < 35mph it bucks some. It is getting smoother as it breaks in though. I think for normal street riding having the power come in a 2k rpm would make it smoother

How much are you getting for your 96? Just curious...

Going to get $2000 for it. 103 stage 4. Unless I get a better offer. Bought the 120 today. Putting my work bonus to good use. Hope buyers remorse doesn't sit in. I am sure when I crank it up, I'll forget the cost.

First ride will wipe out any buyers remorse.

I'm looking forward to your review once you get it in and have some miles on it. I can't imagine spending that much cash on a motor, but I can dream...
