Default New evo owner here, what to expect
So it was time to downsize because I needed some cash. I traded my. 09 custom crossbones for a 91 tour glide ultra and 3750.cash. the ultra is completely stock and has 17k miles. it's so quiet! what should I expect? not even the pipes or carb have been touched.

"What should you expect?" A big goofy grin on your face and bugs in your teeth every ride.

Enjoy the best motor Harley ever built.

The corrosion on your forks can can be removed with some sandpaper, followed by a good metal polish.

Wow, Tour Glide Ultra, that is a cruising machine and don't get smiling too big, june bug can do some damage.

Check the base gaskets for weeping is expected from a Evo, gaskets get hard after years of service.

You should expect the most pleasant motorcycle experience out there. Even the PITA repairs are usually a day max. Oh yeah and the joy of searching for parts and making things work.
