I have a '02 FLHTCI. It is the rubber mounted TC88. A couple of friends just bought new soft tails with the TC88B (an '02 Heritage, and a FB).
Why did H-D go with the TC88B on the non-touring models (at least the soft tails), and use rubber mounts on the Touring models? The balanced motors seem so much smother... (I have to admit that the windshield on the Heritage reflects a lot of mechanical engine noise towards the rider, even with a Thunderheader. More than I would like...).
I am glad I have a non-balanced TC88. I like the characteristics and the way the TC88 feels, especially under power. Wouldn't like it any other way.
I have not riden my partners soft tails, but they both seem sooo tame while reving them up while stationary.
What was the thinking at H-D?
Glad to have a throbber...
