Engine from any year model will fit in your frame. You're not likely to find a '95 with low miles on it.
It might help if you tell us where you are. :thumb:

I have seen some low mileage engines around on ebay, expect to pay $4-600 for one there. I believe the only difference on the newer engines is the pickup for the tach, mine was converted because I had a later model guage cluster. I'm not sure what the last year was for the mechanical tach pickup.

Remember that low miles doesn't necessarily equate to a perfect engine.  I picked up a '90 parts bike with 3,000 on the clock and the engine runs good and has excellent compression but it smokes, probably due to the valve seals being dried out from sitting.  It would need a good going over before I used it in anything.  A higher mileage engine that was used regularly and properly maintained would probably be better if you want to drop it in and go (emphasis on properly maintained   ;)  )

I know a guy (me) in MD (HoCo) that might be looking to unload an 04 engine w/ about 13k on it, if he could get rid of it locally and for the right price. Shoot me a PM
