Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Twin Cam 96 & 6-speed
2007 brought the 1584cc Twin Cam 96 with the 6-speed Cruise Drive gearbox and standard fuel injection, cutting highway RPM and making it a far more relaxed tourer than the earlier 88ci five-speed bikes.
Check the compensator
Early Twin Cam 96 compensator sprockets are a known weak spot — listen for a loud clunk or rattle at startup and shutdown. Also budget for stator/voltage regulator checks and expect noticeable rear-cylinder heat in traffic.
2009 commands a premium
For 2009 Harley redesigned the touring chassis with a stiffer frame, 2-1-2 exhaust and wider rear tire, so 2009 models handle better and resell for noticeably more than 2007–2008 examples. Low-mile, well-farkled Ultras with service records hold value strongly thanks to huge parts and dealer support.
