Wat kopers moeten weten
Twin Cam Engine Issues
The 1999-2005 models with the Twin Cam 88 engine are known for cam chain tensioner wear, which can cause engine damage if not addressed. Budget for an inspection or pre-emptive tensioner upgrade when buying used.
Strong Resale Value
Both the FXSTC and FXDWG hold their value exceptionally well compared to other cruisers, often retaining 60-75% of original value after a decade. Low-mileage, stock examples command a notable premium.
Wide Glide's Signature Style
The FXDWG's wide-spaced, raked front forks and large front wheel give it a distinctive chopper aesthetic that has made it one of Harley's most recognized customs. This unique look drives consistent buyer demand on the used market.
