Years for 1200s
What years have a 1200 Sport model?
Having trouble finding an answer.
I have a 1999, but not sure how long the 1200s was made.
Thanks in advance.

I have a 1990 1200 xlh and I'm pretty sure the 1200 was made since 1988.

1996 - 2003 for the 1200S model.
2004-2008 for the 1200R model.
Similar bikes, but still different.

The R came around in 2002 and I believe the S came in 1998. I think the only thing similar performance wise is the height and dual front brakes. The S has adjustable preload fork caps, quick change fork fluid valves, external reservoir rear shocks (not sure what year the shocks came about) and 4 spark plugs.
