Default Evo engine in MA

If I had the cash is grab it. Still considering buying it and selling mine to have a "b" engine in a rubber frame would be smooooth. If anyone has $950 they don't need I'll take it.

1998 88" Evo Motor $950

Jasper is right of course but seeing and hearing it run is a really good thing on a used motor. For someone with bad cases or some other major issue this might be a good way to go. If I had the time and room it might be worth picking up since harley discontinued the rebuild program, I plan on keeping my Softail EVO till the end...My end..
BTW, I have a B motor in my springer, love the bike but the motor does nothing for me.

in my opinion 950 is a bit high for a motor. in this area I gave 250 for a complete 97 motor in a box. 500 for a hole 86 motor transmission and primary. 650 for the hole bike 85 fxrt wrecked front end witch was the donor for my chopper evo's around here are very cheap even old shovels are easy to find bought a 74 police for 850 and a bottle of JW gold back in june
