The 6 speed 2006 Dynas started being manufactured in July 2005. The updates to the 2006 models started in Dec 2005 or Jan 2006 with the 25 degree injector as some Dynas had rough idle issues with the 8 degree injector. The 25 degree injector had worse gas milage. The 8 degree ran fine with most Dynas and seemed to be a bigger problem with Baggers. The new IPD and stator installment on 2006 Dynas was case by case, as I recall, but that was a long time ago!

My 06 Street Bob was built in 12/05. I bought the bike in July 2010 for $9000 with 8900 miles on it. The bike was a stage II 95 inch engine when I got it and in March of 2011 an SE 120R was installed. Inner primary bearing was checked when the engine was installed, no problems identified. The rotor and stator were replaced when the new engine was installed not due to any problems but because the engine uses a Screamin Eagle compensator which requires an 07 and later stator.
As noted in the other threads, though aware of the potential problems some 06 owners have experienced, I ride mine and enjoy it.

2006 35th Anniversary Superglide (13000 miles). Mine was manufactured 12-05 so I'm right at the target date. However, she is #2743 of 3500 so I am hoping I'm on the good side of this. I bought her used with 4400 miles and have had no issues since (dropped a lot of coin in mods, but no mechanical issues).

My 2006 Dyna didn't exhibit any issues until a little over 11,000 miles, when it suddenly went kaput. Hope you're luckier than I was.

This is getting more an more complicated. According to Harley Davidson, no 2006 Dyna's came through the factory with the updated doweled inner primary case/tranny case that became a standard item for the 2007 models.
According to Harley Davidson, no 2006 Dyna's came through the factory with the updated 1pc rotor/cup assembly until the 2007 models came out.
What makes this complicated is there are many 2006 owners online who have posted that when they took their bikes apart they were happy to find the 1 pc rotor/cup assembly and the doweled cases. These always end up being owners of bikes manufactured at the very end of the 2006 run which is around May 2006. Some owners found the 2pc rotor/cup assembly and no doweled primary case but their tranny case was drilled for the dowels.
Somebody isn't being truthful about this.
Also.. .if your IPB went bad twice in 2006 the factory would replace the inner primary housing and the tranny housing with the improved doweled versions. Why would they do that if there were no problems with either which is what the factory told me.

What I need to find out is when the updated doweled inner primary case/tranny case and the new welded 40amp stator/rotor assembly started getting installed in the 2006 Dyna's because these parts were developed and available in 2006. Obviously the factory knew there were problems with both. There are many posts online of late 2006 owners who have taken their bikes apart to find that they had the new parts installed from the factory.
Another element to the equation, how many of these bikes that have been found with updated parts have been owned since new and how many are possibly used bikes and the updates were done by previous owner out of pocket or on MOCO's dime??
I went and looked at my 06 rotor assy yesterday thinking I could offer it to someone in need if it was one piece but it too is screwed together (mine was built 12/05) so no help.

Yea, its probably information I will never be able to get. I can imagine there are a ton of owners that had their bikes break down and didn't do any research and ended up either repairing the bike themselves, going to an independent or going to the dealer and not asking any questions. I will tell you that if you bring a 2006 into the dealership with either an IPB or a blown up stator and you don't ask any questions or make any comments they will fix your bike and charge you for every penny of it and not say a word and technically they don't have to because there is NO RECALL from Harley on these 2 documented expensive repairs. You are looking at upwards of $2000.00 to do the job correctly with factory parts and labor at the dealership.

2006 FXDB made 03/06 no issue....yet
My 2006 StreetBob has 6,100 miles with no rotor/IPB issue. The bike was purchased used with 2800 miles on it. Manufacture frame sticker shows date of 03/06. Close to the end of the line. The motor does have the new 25 degree injectors vs. 8*.
I opened up the primary to check the rotor type. It was the older 8 bolt type (none backed out) and had to remove the inner primary cover to pull the rotor. So got the bolts tack welded in place and placed it back on. I also replaced the chain tensioner with 39929-06B. Might as well wait for the IPB to go at 15,000 miles and see if Harley moco will pay for the full Monty.
So confirmed build date 3/6 with old style 8 bolt rotor, thin week tensioner.
