evo's are known as the most reliable HD's , ....that's why I keep mine , and why we see a lot of these bikes here on the road. :up:

Put about a grand in parts on the old girl this spring. Nothing that would have kept me from riding, just new tires, CV carb swap, plugs and wires and numerous other things. Planning a ride to Sturgis next month and from there to Oklahoma and then back to MN. Should be about 4000 miles round trip. I wouldn't trade her for anything.

I have a '97 Dyna Convertible, most reliable bike I've ever owned, not hard to work on, I've cross referenced everything, oil filters, spark plugs, light bulbs. So, I don't care if H-D stocks parts, most aftermarket are better and cheaper anyway. I am thinking of putting in a better mid-range cam, and looking at that Ultima 6-speed gearset.

WE were out yesterday guy with a 09 street glide dealer installed stage 1 kit was bragging about how many bikes he had beat. another guy took his 1988 80 inch classic with branch head`s mik 42 ev27 and kicked his butt. then the guy with the 09 said you can`t beat me on top end I got a 6 speed they ran, same result`s I don`t think he will be calling out too many more evo`s
If it don`t scare you, It ain`t fast enough.

I've got an 95 Road King, one of the best bikes I have ever owned. I also have an 06 Road King and an 07 Ultra, and those are great bikes too.
I've had shovels , pans, ironheads, Triumph, Norton, BSA, and several different Ja-pans when I raced dirt, and they were great, hell I love em all.

Alot of nice Evo's showing up, gotta luv it. I ride mine everyday to work and run on weekends with some long time bikers and my 97 is the newest of the group - 3 Shovels and 2 Evos, we run hard all day , my stroked Cadillac as they call it, has no choice with this group but heavy throttle.
Neat thing about it, one of the Shovels is a 71 origional appearing white Super Glide (big stroker) runs all day, makes you feel special when you fire up healthy older bikes surrounded by 100 Twinkies at stops. Not trying to take away from this thread but man does that Super Glide draw a crowd, the owner simply says (ain't that the ugliest bike you have ever seen)

Can't get pics transfered over of my bike  :cry:

 
What's wrong with having the only Evo in the parking lot?

I still use my 1996 WG for a daily commuter. Only problem is Al Gores global warming is bringing me cold rainy days 5 out of 7 here in SE Wisconsin. It has to be the coldest summer in history around here. Now its supposed to rain and be under average temps for the next 5 days!!! AAAAAARGH
