Hence, the softail motor! Smooth idle, no shake at stoplights and I hated the fact that my brothers looked like a built 454 sitting at a stop light and mine looked like a honda civic. Although his motor mount wore out in 10K miles! But other than that it ran like a bat outa hell! My B motor that is!

RE: TC88A or TC88B
When the bike starts up, or at idle, watch the football aircleaner. TC88's let the motor bounce around in the frame, rubber mounted. TC88B's will be steady. No shake or very minimal, internally balanced.
As was mention above, you'll only find them in the softtails.

I don't know if it's strange or not, but I kind of like the shake, rock & roll of my "A" and the rubber mount engine is really smooth at high speed. I can glide along at 90 MPHand benice and stable.
