Pics of my 85 wide glide
Took some photos after I changed out the oil tank, battery box and pipes. Anybody recognize the rear fender?

Kicker works good all summer or after shes warm. Took a while to get to know her. Enricher up, tiny 1/4 twist of the throttle and one kick sets her off. Deviate and you got problems. That's what that button is for?

What are you using for controls and foot boards? My stock setup isn't good for long rides. Feet get tired.

Controls are stock. Just the multi position, anti vibe boards. I can ride all day on county roads. Highways are another thing. Gets uncomfortable at 60 and don't smooth out till over 75!

The Shovel 84, and Evo 85 Wide Glides to me are the best looking bikes ever made,stock.
