1999's and early 2000's had a Cam bearing problem. Make sure the previous owner had the correct bearing put in, or plan on doin it yourself. There is tons of stuff written about this issue, a search in the forumns should bring up a lot of info for you. Other than that the bike is OK. Don't ignore that issue though or you could get stranded somewhere.....Joe Mac

 

Ride it like ya stole it!

 

From the picture that bike looks showroom.... you can really feel good about about the bike as far as the condition as it looks sweet... Enjoy!!

 

Hi Mike I got a 99 Classic myself. They are good cursiers,Get yourself a drivers backrest, it really makes rideing something else. the miles will melt away.
Also learn about the air ride system, it's LOW PRESURE. DO NOT hook up atire inflateingair hose to it! My system works perfect some don't, but I have the HD ir syspension air pump, it's preaty high but I have 2 friends who use it two so it has been worth it for us.
Get yourself a HD manual and yu might want to check out the FixmyHog CDs. They will fimularize you with your bike better than anything else I know. Even if you don't want to do any wrenching yourself, the video will show you alot of the workings of your bike.
I hope you enjoy your bike as much as I have, JB

 

Welcome to the froum Mike!

That is a nice looking '99!

 

Hey bro
you can call custmer service in milaukee,
I own a 99 flhr, it drove me crazy untill i did just had the tensioners checked they look like new
enjoy the ride bro

 

thanks everyone for the info it gives me a peice of mind.

 

Nice Ride ever think of getting it painted a new color.

 

Congrats on the new ride...

As mentioned above, watch for cam issues. If maintenance records are unavailable, a set of gear-drive's would be the first thing to add to a 'wish-list'

That also gives you a very good excuse to do a 95" kit...
