Yes, I have had this experience.

Still waiting for women to rip their cloths off. Can't even get my wife to do that, and in her case the Harley does not help. Not even a little.

But who can blame her when I come in from the garage smelling like oil with grease under my fingernails. Can't say I blame her.

They're the motor that brought back the moco as they were on life support with A M F in case ya'll forgot. If the evo had not come along HD would be extinct like the dinosaur by now.
Not only that but with all of the Twin cams now you can buy them very cheap.

Here's my last bike(kinda partial to silver) a 99 FXSTC which was the last year of the evo and the softail custom as in 2000 the "deuce" replaced it. The Fxstc did come back later down the road though but in a Twin cam form.



I never did like the "skinny tire" 21 inch thing so I put a 16 inch HD Thunderstar Wheel on it along with a Factory matched Fatboy front fender. S & S Suuper E, EVL 5010 Cam, Kerker 2-1 and Crane Hi4 coil.

It's funny that I yearned for a shovel and finally got one but for some reason my Evo is still my main squeeze. Poor girl is sick and needs a lot of love right now. Her heart is sitting on a work bench upstate. I'm sure Scott will have that heart pumping real good when she comes home....
