I believe that year had the good Torrington cam bearing, and I don't know of any thing else that might be a problem. Maybe others will chime in here. Mine is a 99. They sure are cool arn't they.

Watch for leaky/seeping cylinder base gaskets.

I have had my 1990 FLHS from new and I reckon they will have been done a long time ago! There are quite a few things that can go wrong with the bikes from that period, but nothing that can't be fixed. They may all have been sorted anyway.

I've had my 1990 fxstc since 1991, I've changed a few things since then amongst them is the engine for more power, but it's still a great bike I like it more now than when it was new.
