Superglide/ Wide Glide conversion Thoughts?

So I am really interested in this bike. It is over an hour away from me so I can't just pop on over to take a look but anybody have thoughts on this?

I am looking for a nice bike to put around town and occasionally take a small trip with the MRS. I really like the Wide Glide and this one caught my eye....

How are the EVO's when they get bored out to 88's?

No experience with evo's, but that's a great looking bike. Seems like a reasonable price.

Mileage is low, Evo's were/are good engines. Test ride is a must!

Yeah looks like a great bike just not sure about the Wide Glide front end....and how that would change if I needed to fix it in the future.

Just looking at the picture it seems to have the stock Super Glide rack so handling shouldn't be much different if any. Just looks and it looks good to me! The one stand out I see is it has a different longer front fender that does not fit the current tire/wheel combo. Needs a larger diameter front wheel to fill that gap.
