I'm shopping for '07 and up Dyna's. This forum has put the fear of God into me about buying an '06. However, I keep seeing some pretty cool '06's around.

I'm wondering about how much would I have to pay an Indy mechanic to bring it up closer to '07 standards with:

'New doweled cases, Baker IPB, SE compensator, welded stator, upgraded Regina primary chain adjuster.' ?

I have done scheduled maintenance, handlebar swap, etc. I don't see myself having the skill to do the above.

 

my stator was welded so i dont know on that, but in my IPB i think i have like 75 or somehting like that, paid like 45 for the bearing (used baker IPB) then fluid, gasket and done

 

Dont get caught up in that HD line of BS that you need doweled cases. The parts you need are around 400 bux and that includes a Screamin Eagle compensator,updated chain tensioner,new stator, and Screamin Eagle clutch spring with a Baker Hi torque IPB bearing.
HD has had problems with their IPB forever hence why baker saw a need to fix it. Rider reports show over 30k miles on non doweled cases with the Baker bearing. As far as the dealer workin on my ride. Can I get a big HELLNO? Those monkies will screw up a Hot Dog. Find a local wrench here on the board and do yourself a big favor and buy the upgraded parts for your 06 and pay them, or better yet do what I did and buy a manual and the tools (primary locking bar) (torque wrench) and do it yourself.
My bike rides so much better with the new parts installed I am really happy. Dont get bummed out with all the hype surrounding warranty and what not. My bike performs so much better than stock I am kinda glad I needed to do the upgrade...

 

that is some awesome info! did not know that

 

I'd go with the baker too. I've gots me a '07 and my IPB is leaking.
