86 FXRS Rebuilt a light wreck: 80" S&S E, Drags w/Krome Werks baffles, Drag Spec instruments, SE ignition, Forks by Frank, Progressive Shocks, Fire Orange Met. I've since replaced the S&S cover with a painted one. This is our first big twin since I sold my 81 WG years ago......what a difference! I can't wait to get my 02 FXWG3 done!

I've been riding almost 4 decades, this is my first bike newer than a shovel. Its registered as a 2010, but made from parts, 1989 motor, 2006 6 speed tranny, 2007 DNA frame 38* rake, etc.
(http://ny1e.com/softail.jpg)
Here's what the 85 FXEF looks like after some changes getting it back to a more original look. I still have a few things I want to complete like a shovel style air cleaner, points cover and some other trim pieces.

As far as stock 120" and 6 speed they are stock I haven't done any upgrades to them since I put them in the bike :beer:

Good looking bike for a good price, but...
'96 were already head breathers, i believe, no need for a conversion.
Also says 2000 swingarm with 1" axles, but that year was not 1".
No mileage listed, either.
Just a few observations.
The TC softail swingarm bolts right in to an EVO softail frame and was sort of a common upgrade a few years ago.

Same thing applies to the FL frames, Evo and early TC, the 2002 -2007 arm is almost a direct replacement. Just need adapter bushings and it bolts right in. Also a somewhat common upgrade on older FLs and FXRs.

Agreed. I was just commenting on the ad, that stated a 2000 swingarm with one inch axles. 2000 didn't have one inch axles.
I guess that is the clue ... "built by a mechanic" ... as in the guy who owns it did not do it.
Wheels, calipers, fork legs are all typical of the 1" upgrades.
May be he stuck vents in the rocker covers, or he means the SE air filter plate!? I don't know ... but, by the parts list, it's a well sorted out Evo; Woods carb and cam, high comp pistons, upgraded brakes, 6 speed etc ... I think the seller does not know what he's selling too.
Pingel fuel tap, Bassanis and a bigger Woods air filter too by the looks of it. All stuff you'd buy if you had one.
I have to agree, it looks sorted out.

My First Harley, 1985 FXST. Acquired from a good friend after his father passed 9 months ago. Put about 500 miles on her, so far, definitely been dealing with necessary repairs. I'm getting an education but will surely need some assistance as I work the bugs out. Currently working on the shifter pawl, kickstart assembley and replacing the clutch and inner clutch hub. She's a beauty though!!

Yes that is Giau Pass! You"'re right. Actually my bike is by my mechanic cause the 13th of June I had an accident. Nothing too serious but I still have to have it back. Yes it's in great shape, thanks.
That is too long to be without a bike. Hope you weren't hurt too badly.
My mechanic is usually very slow. This time he had some personal problem, so it took 4 months to do nothing on my bike... I'm angry, I discussed with him badly last weekend. My summer season was completely gone. I'm so angry...

Awesome find there. I still have mine, owned since the 80s. Mine is far from stock now. Your new find is altered some, but still has original 35MM tubes and OEM tins. The Forwards are not stock though. And that year you needed to change pistons or cut piston reliefs for more than about a .500 lift cam.
Red, I'm sure you know what you have there, it is a somewhat rare Evo + 4 speed and chain final. Production numbers were only 2,324. Definitely a combination of parts, as in SHEVO, part Shovel, part Evo.
Enjoy.
Mark
Thanks Mark, I have had a couple of these and really like em. This one is very smooth. I did get the mid controls with the bike so we'll get that squared away. I did run a VT 3010 cam in my last one and it woke it up quite a bit. I like the Evo 4 speed combination. The power distribution seems to work very well.
About time this thread had some updates.

It's a Frankenstein . . . but I like it!
Genny lower with Evo Top
Sputhe cam cover
Gear driven foot clutch pedal
Very slick... Love it, nice job
My 1995
Started out as a FLHT and ended up as a quasi-street glide
It's my hot rod fun bike!
:missed:
Lookin real nice Mike. Very clean cut. Is that the same bike with the 111 S&S you were riding years ago when we met up in San Diego?
Yeah, same bike,
113
Minor head work, compression and a little bump in the cam.
Still can run pump gas and it's a blast to ride!
my mostly 1995 softail, was a black heritage that had been left out in an open shed for many years. After srounging many parts on Ebay , swap meets and Craigslist, this how it ended up... the tank shift/ suicide clutch is a blast to ride.
a second pic
Looks good, proper pipes!
1994 "Road King" (started life as an FLHTC). Bought at 131K for $2000 with a cracked case from a twice pulled stud. Now it's got a 106" Evo.
Here's a Youtube walkaround:

How are you liking it over your old Softail?

much more comfy, but a bit slower which is probably mostly from the higher gearing and a bit more weight.

It's definitely a thought, but so is just lowering the gearing a bit so that 5th is comfy at 55mph. Right now, anything less than 60mph, 4th is so much happier feeling. But the higher 5th is nice and smooth when cruising at 75-80mph.
I actually lowered my gearing to 3:37 on the Twin Cam, and I still run 4th gear most of the time at 60-65 mph, especially in traffic and other than lazy cruising. Acceleration at 55mph in 5th gear is quite languid. But, I do have an rpm cam, as opposed to a torque cam.
At least with the rubber mount motor, it's still smooth at higher rpms.

I'll try not to derail this too much further with one last post.
I was considering the EV27 and a pulley change to lower my final drive. But I think you could be right with the EV23 for low-end Torque and keep my higher gearing since I do a good bit of 70+ cruising...
decisions, decisions...but until then, I'm gonna enjoy riding, upgrades just might wait until next winter. :chop:
edit: EV13 looks like a good milder cam as well.

all good grinds - the 27 may not be right for you, I think the 27 on that bike may give you some more low end torque :unsure: I have the EV23 on mine with a 'thunderjet' largest jet, it comes on in the higher RPM, kinda like the old 4 barrel carbs use to do, very streetable until I twist it.

You guys have some sweet bikes.
1998 FXDL (Lowrider). I looked high and low for a Fatboy head breather, without fuel injection but basically stock...or so. No joy. Found this.
Got it in the fall of 2010 with 4500 miles and went to work. Replaced leaky base gaskets with mls Cometic top and bottom. Samson mufflers and split the stock header pipes. Re-jetted stock carb. Discovered a Toyota freeze-out plug capped them off perfect. In 2013 with 20,000 miles showing I went into the cam chest. New inner cam bearing, EV-27 cam, Johnson Hy-lifts, Andrews pushrods and S & S steel breather gear. Fattened up the carb one size. 40,000 miles at present. May leave it alone.

The build sheet:
Stock 80 cubic inch motor
Flywheels rebuild/balanced by Darkhorse (smooth as silk at 75--80mph!)
Crankcase and oil pump by Ultima
Heads cut .060" (9.5:1 C/R) and mild port by RE Engineering
Crane 300-2B Cam
S&S Hi-4N single fire ignition
Exhaust Pipes no-name from ebay, Python maybe?? Who knows.
Handlebar controls early 2000's
Clutch, compensator, outer primary cover, and trans shift drum from a 2005 Softail
Fuel tanks from a FXSTC, 5.25 gallon
Just about everything else is bone stock. I am going to put a early 2000's era four puck caliper on it as soon as the left side fork leg gets back from the chrome shop, and that will be it. I have a set of restored Heritage saddle bags for it also, but I like the stripped down look better.

Your bike looks GREAT JW !
I have to agree, a beautiful bike.

That's a nice job you done. Great looking bike.
My 93 Heritage -- 102000 miles--- not even close to stock any more lol-- well the paint is original

All three are nice! I liked the '98 anniversary color scheme when it came out, still think it's a classic look.
Love the shovel, sorry to hear of it's demise, hope you weren't hurt.
I have a pair of 98's (the Road King Classic and Ultra in my avatar). Last year of the evo in touring bikes. The anniversary paint is a one year only and it was restricted to the numbered bikes of each model. Approximately 3,000 of each were sold. The sidecars were even rarer. I could never figure out why the more significant 100th Anniversary bikes weren't numbered with a dedicated color. :scratch:

Not too bad. Broken big toe and hairline knee fracture. And a little flesh left in the asphalt from my right arm. I've been through worse.
Back in the 80's I had a stretched frame long girder sportster that I got Tboned on. A lot of bed time using a bed pan. Eventually in a wheel chair for a while. All good now.
aww, that is a beautiful Shovel :sad:
My 1984 Evo Softail, this winter the bikes getting conversion rails, hard bags, a few other odds & ends. motor work so far includes: cv carb, screaming Eagle exhaust, reworked heads, Dyna Ignition, .030 jugs, haven't put in the EV27 cam yet. What do you think is the best & least expensive way to pull more ci out of the engine yet retain streetability & reliability? She still has a 4 speed & kicker
Its dam hard to bolt-on power.
Tell us how much you want to spend and we can get you pointed in the right direction to empty your checkbook.
it is that simple!.
The other point is we all have opinions on our experiences.
I always say it is EZ to bolt-on cubes, the "art" is getting the 1.30 out of what you have.
Most anyone low brow droid get 1.25
80 x1.30 = 104 TQ / Hp
With the right cam turning on early, not late, the little 80 is a force to be reconded with even by today's much larger
bolt on cubes.
Here's a '97 Heritage I bought recently. Been working my way through it just for my own peace of mind.
[attach=0]
I actually did find a company that offered a piston/jug kit reasonably priced that bolt on your 80 inch would take it to 93.4 in. Pistons were etched for the valves & everything.

:up:
I am a huge proponent of Axtell which makes a nodular drop-in cylinder. (10.5 pistons, rings, and all)
It becomes supposed 83 inch, no big deal there but the nuances of the cylinder shuffle stops there.
No more leaks.
With a DM or equivalent cam, mild head clean up you will be over 80 HP EZ, with the Torq out of the basement.
Thank You Thumper823
Talk to Ron @Axtell (owner) He is a smart guy.
He will reconfigure your combustion chamber into a usable modern design with his angle tops pistons .
Pay attn to his details and get the squish correct.
My engine is .026 squish.
next-
I can not emphasize enough about rings and instalation.
I emphasize installation.
Caveman out there using their fingers.......
There are still people honing cylinders like the model "T" was done !
OMG !
Anymore it has come to the fore and fact a surface tester is REQUIRED for a proper hone job.
People are Not cleaning up cylinders B4 installation!...... etc etc etc
If you want performance pay att to the details.
I have just started with the list that most people will have quit and ended with in the first line.(squish)
Coatings are cheap now, do it.
Ring drag or lack of is free power.
Your goal should be a minimum of 1.25 per cube . (in my opinion )
Anyone can bolt on larger jugs and claim more power....they truly have not mastered the art.
Always cheat and look at how the big guys do it.
Porsche was air-cooled forever and extracted over 600HP out of a little 6 cylinder 200 cubic inches.
Harley and most of its cadre have never paid much attn to the details.
My rant is over but i truly know you don't need 110 inches to beat them with the little Evil Evo.
Figured I'd try out some new saddlebags via Ebay. :soda:
another angle...
$250 and they came assembled with the 'new' 14+ latches :baby:
That is a great price, and they look good too. Congrats on finding those.

Thanks, seems to be pretty mixed on the quality of these generic crap bags. But I figured $250 for the extended look and 14+ latches was worth the risk, and prepainted. Took a bit of work as my '97 does NOT have the same brackets as the newer bikes, but a small modification and some spacers is all it took.... Pretty sure I lost some lean angle though, gonna have to look at some skid plates.
I put about 40 miles on them last weekend between the snows. Supposed to be mid-40s here this weekend, if the pass is open I'm gonna put on a hundred or so and see how they hold up.

Sir,
may I congratulate you on your impeccable taste in motorcycles? :smiled:
Was looking to buy one last new bike when I retired but after a reality check at the dealer I found this original owner 85 FXWG with 6200 miles on it. Bike was purchased new at Tuscon H-D and stayed in Tuscon it's entire life. Original owner did all the mods I woulld have done to it already so not only did I find the exact model I was looking for, it already was done up exactly how I would have done it with Branch heads, new updated cylinder studs, an EV-27 cam, Mik 42 and a adjustable iggy with a sigle fire coil. I do have the original header pipe, air cleaner cover and two boxes of goodies that came with it including all the paperwork from the dealer when it was new. I kinda like where I have landed.

It was time to let 2016 FLSTC go and get an Evo instead.
Bought this today, a 1998 with 44k miles on the clock. Engine is still bone stock, carb in factory settings.
Handlebars do not suit me and I hate those mini indicators. Luckily all original stuff came with bike.
Ordered EV13, Dyna 2000i, S&S Stealth air cleaner etc. so it'll run nicely soon.
It was wet and cold so trailer was needed. Dropped it already to my dealer when heading home.
