best year for a 1200 Sporty?
I have a question for ya sportster guru's... what is the best year for a Carbureted 1200C Sportster, not into the FI stuff....., I'm looking to buy a used one in the near future, and would like your help in determining what the best year is to look for.
Thank you for your input,

I had a 98 1200......and to be honest...I didn't much care for it. My current reminds me more of my XLCR then it ever did. Kinda odd eh.

Anything after and including 2004 models because of the rubber mount. Alot of rigid mounted owners will argue that there isn't "that much difference" between the rigid mounted models and the rubber mounted models. It can be argued what the term "that much" means but it can't be argued that there is definetly a difference.
