Default The evolution of my Evo.
Don’t post much here, but here is my ’97 fxdl, that I bought new. It’s on its third cam, second top end third set of pipes and third paint scheme, after running the blue paint job for most of its life, I shopped around for stock tins and found these, they were pretty new and looked like they were taken off when they were fairly new. It now has a Revolution Performance 85” piston and cylinder along with their head port and polish with new valves and high lift springs, I also replaced the ev27 with a Tman 590, which is perfect for the 10.5:1 compression. That’s my friend on it, the day I bought it.

Nice hair!

I love the gray and cream. It looks very rad. I also thought the 2-2 supertrapp pipes were sooooo cool.

I was looking for stock tins for a while now and these kinda fell on my lap. Supertrapps were good looking but the Bassani pipe performs much better.

Nice, but if it were mine I'd take the stock tins in the last picture and paint the gray areas the same color blue as the bike used to be.
