Default The EVO

It was one of my first Harley's. I started out with a 1987 1100 sportster, then I traded that in for a 1990 low rider custom. Wow, what a bike. Carburated, turn out mufflers, red and burgundy with Harley Davidson in gold letters. What an incredible motorcycle. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic now..... my M8 is a fantastic bike, but it just seems to lack the soul that my evo had. There will never be another engine like it..... a sound clip of my favorite evo ever made, softail deluxe.

By what I've heard, that low Idle is not good for the crank pin bearings...

Nice ride though.....

I think that today, if youve never ridden an evo, you will never experience the best engine Harley made. Sure the M8 is a major step forward for the MOCO, but the evo saved their ****.......

This could be the start of an intervention program for the ones who've sold out and bought M8s.

Well the M8 has a single cam and now the 2018's with the M8 have a round air cleaner that reminds me of Evo air cleaners.

Wait, who the hell am I kidding.

Evo or die!
