Lo que los compradores deben saber
Cam chain tensioner weak point
Like all 1999–2006 Twin Cam 88 engines, this bike uses spring-loaded nylon cam chain tensioner shoes that wear out and can send debris through the oil system. Ask for proof of a gear-drive or hydraulic tensioner conversion plus an inner cam bearing upgrade — otherwise budget roughly $1,000–2,000 for the job.
Frame-mounted shark-nose fairing
The Road Glide's fairing bolts to the frame rather than the forks, so wind loads don't fight the handlebars — it feels notably more stable at highway speed and in crosswinds than a Street Glide. Dual headlamps and the fixed fairing also make it the most distinctive-looking touring Harley of the era.
Anniversary trim adds value
The 100th Anniversary package brings Sterling Silver/Vivid Black two-tone paint, special tank and fender badges, and a serialized commemorative plaque, which typically supports a modest price premium over a standard 2003 FLTR. That premium only holds if the paint, badging and documentation are original and unmolested, so heavily customized examples are worth no more than a base bike.
