The parts are a little more difficult to find for EG evo's older than '96. I do like my '94 though. With a '96 and later you have a lot more options from both HD and the aftermarket.

Many of us are still riding older Evo Glides with complete satisfaction - well except for the endless ideas for 'improving' them!

That should be 1997 or later.

The 1994 to 1996 models are the same.

I wish people, especially resellers, would be more accurate about that. (97 models started to sell in late 96 but technically they are all 1997).
