jims 120.......I have two of them in my bikes and have never had a problem what so ever. They have an EVO mount model available so you should have no problems with installation on a 1998. Go with a SE six-speed while your at it if you do alot of cruising. Get one off EBAY for 1300-1400 plus end cap from Harley.

Don't buy an Ultima El Bruto. I blew one up while doing nothing wrong, following all manufacturer's directions.
