Default 02 Softail Standard questions...

I may have the chance to acquire a 2002 Softail Standard. The bike has been ridden regularly and has 20,000 miles on it, but I know nothing of its service history. I do not know what the price will be yet.

Anything particular I should watch out for? Known trouble spots?

Any and all replies are appreciated.

At 20,000 cam tensioners need to be inspected, maybe replaced.

Worth about $7000-7500.

Those bikes are usually great bargains. All they seem to need is a simple 700 chrome kit and they are one of the sharpest motorcycles on the road. IMHO
As mentioned, get the tensioners checked.
