Goodaye to all.  I'm considering in retirement buying the bike I couldn't afford when I was younger.  I'm researching an 80, 88 or 96 probably Dyna Lowrider.  I believe there was some issues 99 to 2004 ish with the twin cam engines.  Can you tell me if and when this was rectified and from what year it is fairly safe the purchase.  Cheers.

Welcome mate, lets hope you have a few $ behind you as regardless of age they can be a money pit.

Hi Scotty.

I ride an 88 cube '03 Dyna Superglide, had it 4 years and I know the previous owner who had it for about the same time. She's done 33,000kms with no major work or issues that I know of..... yet. She runs fine and has no oil leaks to speak of. It just gets regular services at about the right kms irrespective of the time. Yeah, it struggles at times along side the newer models with the bigger cubes & upgrade kits but it does everything I ask of it. Get something with relatively low kms for the age and something that's obviously been cared for. You'll know when you see it. Don't hold back!

I have an 05 Low Rider (88cu) for about 10 years and loved it (was sad to leave it behind when we left the US), it wasn't quite as quick as a friends newer 96cu (but that may partly because he weighed a lot less than me!), but was way more reliable!

I have an 01 lowrider done 98000km had motor work done 211 cams with camp late upgrade se heads 1550 kit mikuni cam adjusters came out at around 45000km minimal wear my mates 01 super glide had is changed out at about same kms his were non existent you can’t go wrong with any 88 I think they changed camplate in 04 models

It must have been 02 when they changed camplate

Haha....In see what ya did there .

Cheers to all the guys responding.  Some good info especially re the years to get.  I'll let you know how I go.
