New tire, brakes, belt, pcIII tuner, windshield, lowered, glid pro, supertraps. Have been able to put 200 miles on it, looking forward to Daytona. Thanks again for everybody's help.

Great, good to hear; sorry that it was the crank but IMHO, you are better off with the '02 than a new one. IMHO, the later models just don't have any soul. My '02 FLHT is down right now for some engine upgrades. I thought about new but decided that performance and cosmetic upgrades to the old '02 make more sense. Ride safe.
