Default 96-97 Springer Bad Boy

What can you tell me about the 96-97 bad boy? Was the engine rubber mounted? Engine size? Issues? Problems?
Don't flame me- I know nothing about these softtails...

Best motor Harley ever made (Evolution Big Twin), 95-99 best years to buy one. Same thing as all used items how was it taken care of??? etc... Bad Boy was manuf. for around three years (I think). Watch the inner cam bearing and have replaced. Other than that bullet proof motor.

One bad *** bike, made 1995-97 around 2000 made each year. One of the few HD's that still holds it's value. Most sell from $8500-$12,500 depending on condition/mileage.
