I don't know If it will be another piece of wall art in my garage or I will sell it. From the responses so far wall art seems likely.

Side story is it a 96 or 103? The VIN break down says its a 103. The heads without ACR seems to say its a 96. Dealer contacted HD and they are sending a new set of heads with ACR. Their feeling the VIN is correct.

Maybe I have the one only rare TC96-103 hybrid model. Who wants to start the bidding war?
So how is the that 120 doing? Any issues? How many miles?

Worth $1500-2000 on ebay. Maybe more locally.

Here is a link to finished ebay auctions:

Gents,

I stand corrected. 88 not 96. Wrong info by the stealer who sold it to me. Unless someone did a big bore on the stock heads.. doubtful.

The more I read on the 120r, the more I want to wait for warranty. Some scaring stories out there of spending $11k plus and it is sitting dead in a garage.

Maybe should consider a big bore on the 88 for now...

Or go with the 120ST, It has a one year warrantee.

"ST" is for touring models... from I understand, it will not mount in a Dyna.

The 06 Dyna's was the first bikes to get the 6 speed, but they still had the 88''er (1450cc) engine,

If so that is a shame, I thought the only difference was ST is street legal while 120R is not. can't beat this deal.
