I have a 97 Intruder and I asked the same question. I was told that OBD11 was required in 1996 but there were exceptions, size matters I guess. Damon did not start until Model year 1999 and supposed to be with-in 1 meter of the steering column. So, if on a Ford chassis, very common to have a 99 model on a 98 chassis, you may not have one or have OBD1. I was very disappointed as I wanted to install a OBD11 monitor and watch everything in real time. Do not take everything here as "gospel" as it has been over two years since I inquired about this.
