I believe 99-05 Dyna and 99-06 Touring use the same crank.

We have a 99-06' that Darkhorse has completely gone thru.
Never installed after their work.

I think you should buy a crankshaft off of Craigslist and hope that it is in good shape. Or you could go with the sure thing and buy from Hillside.

I trust Darkhorse completely. John Dahmer is a stand up guy.
