Looking at your bike doing a head stand was driving me crazy. (It's not a long drive, just a short putt) Try this.

Looks like a TC to me..........

Yes, you are right, the bike is a 1996 but the original motor blew up a few years ago and the previous owner put the TC in instead, i would have liked to have a EVO in there but around here in Sweden it´s hard to find a good one and to find a mid -90 electra in this condition is allmost impossible, so far i´ve seen a -87-88 and a -90 for sale in an year and a week ago a high milage -98 with EFI showd up on our versin of crag list, this bike is very well looked after, same owner for 10 years, so the choise was easy, the TC runs good, is low milage and has had the cam chain tensioner and bearings changed so i´ll guess i can try to like it as much as my FXR, but if it gives me trouble...i´ll be lookong hard at finding a frech EVO for it

hope you guys let me hang aroud here anyway....

Technically it's a 96 so you should be good to go... Welcome to Evo "Era" land...
Still though, it looks nice...

Something does not sound right with me... They stuffed a twinkie into an Evo frame? With a hammer? Torch, cut, then re-weld??

From what I understand the import inspections are more stringent in Europe than here in the USA. Make sure the numbers on the frame neck and right side downtube match and are clean looking.

I wish you well.
