Interesting bike, which a PO has had some fun with. The tank is actually off an '87 IIRC, celebrating the Centenary of the Statue of Liberty. My tourpak below came off one, which a heathen broke up to customise! I'm not sure those cylinders are stock, what is written across the base of them, behind the shifter rod?

Paint looks like 1986 Liberty Edition Tour Glide to me.
Check the VIN on the frame. Plug the vin into Harley's site and it will give the information about it.
Post a picture of the timing cover. A lot of times it will have identifying information about it.

The timer cover in your photo is actually the inner cover, the outer cover is missing, normally held on with rivets in the upper and lower holes.

Evos don't have the same scope to increase capacity as the twincams. They are actually 82" when new and an 85" 'kit' is simply max rebore size. Longer stroke cranks are available, which with stock bore give 89", but using them with larger bore cylinders is dependent on suitable pistons being available and I haven't come across them.
Yes, do fit the outer timer cover, at present those two small holes in the inner are exposing your ignition sender to rain etc.
