O que os compradores devem saber

⚠️

Check cam chain tensioners

The Twin Cam 88's spring-loaded cam chain tensioner shoes wear out (often by 30,000–50,000 miles) and can shed debris into the oil, killing the oil pump and cam bearings. Ask for proof of a gear-drive or hydraulic tensioner conversion, or budget roughly $1,000–$2,000 for the job.

🦈

Frame-mounted shark-nose fairing

Unlike the Street Glide's fork-mounted fairing, the Road Glide's dual-headlight fairing bolts to the frame, so wind buffeting and heavy accessories don't fight the handlebars. It gives noticeably lighter low-speed steering and rock-steady tracking at highway speed.

💰

Anniversary paint adds value

100th Anniversary bikes carry Sterling Silver/Vivid Black two-tone paint, special tank medallions and a serialized anniversary badge, which typically brings a modest premium over a standard 2003 FLTR—provided the paint and badges are original and unfaded. Low-mile, documented examples hold value best; carbureted 2003s are also popular with buyers who dislike early fuel injection.
