Asking $3.5K been for sale for a while, I am going to offer him $3K. Was this a good/bad year? I know it falls at the bottom edge of the main stream EVO's for parts availability. Since I sold my Eglide this year I have been looking for a Sunday ride that isn't so heavy and might be a little more fun to ride. Mike

That was an excellent year. I think three would be a steal. Looks like the carb has already been "fixed."

Dude, anything under 4k is a GREAT deal. Jump on it, you won't be disappointed....

You can get parts easily enough, you might need to put more effort into getting some parts and the general rule with Evo is that the later the year the better but none of them are bad.

Original exhaust header and mid controls. It has the hard parts. Buy it already, or tell us where it is. ;-)

A few parts on that bike are hard to find...but if you ever need them, you could upgrade the bike with newer parts that are better anyway.

At that price better snag it before it is gone.

The motor will have flaking paint. They all do since Harley painted them back then. The starter setup is not the best (and primary) but the transmission is good. Basic five speed (early)

Well I screwed up and missed out. Should have give the old timer the $3500, someone else did. Still looking and I would prefer a rear belt drive anyway. Mike
