Mine's got 50,000km from new, which I think is about 30,000 miles.

Anything else peculiar to Evos to look out for whilst I am fondling its innards?
If the hone marks are still intact I wouldn't personally mess with it but if ya got the money....

30K miles is bugger all when you consider Kees had 100,000 miles on stock bores...granted it was worn out but it was still running!

Evo innards are no more peculiar than any other Harley and a lot less weird than an Ironhead.....double check the ign timing when it goes back together....two dots is the California 22 degree timing mark, one dot is the real world and it runs a heap better timed to this mark.

Good luck with it, I hope it all goes smoothly for you!

I'm getting new pistons for the bump in compression.

That way if I don't like it for any reason then I can go back to stock.

I have the top end torn down. The heads and jugs are in a box and going to Fort Worth in the morning.

By the way TD that isn't dirt it is discolored paint!!!!!!!!!!!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Sorry, a little off track, but what saddlebags are those? Been looking to replace my old saggy stock bags but cant really find any nice ones.

I got them from Aurburn leathers but they are now closed.

Leather works makes some good stuff.

If I end up with a bunch of pinging I cant get rid of you better believe I'm going back to the stock compression.

Most things are a lot less weird than an Ironhead.
