The only good news is that it's a 96, so an SG or UG should work- unless HDs were somehow allowed to slide for a year or so from OBDII. With instrumentation, all the standard benefits apply- FE isn't simply abysmal, you can see exactly how abysmal it is and make slight tweaks with foot placement and gear selection.

That's not entirely correct- the other bit of good news is that it's a manual.
