Default Softail Custom

I am thinking about adding a 07 custom to the stable. Bike has 7,800 miles and looks to be in excellent condition. Stage 2 has been done. Anything i need to know about the "B" motor? I put 35,000 on my previous 96 "A" motor without any issues. Any input is appreciated.

I have the 88B in my 02 SS. I've had no issues what so ever out of it and it's got just under 30K. Strong and reliable so far, I wouldn't hesitate if the bike checks out. Good luck!
