Thanks for all the reposes. Definitely going to enjoy that Evo motor some more and increase the frequency of riding.

I bought this new in 1985. Evo, belt drive, 4 speed, kickstart. Never expect to get a lot for it, mostly because it's not for sale, but I just enjoy riding it.

Wow. Looks great. Just love the older models.the newer models just don't feel authentic enough for me. My grandfather got an army issue 1947 with a sidecar after WW2 which sparked my interest in Harleys.

Maybe you should see pics of his wife first?

OP - Naahhh, just a little good natured ribbing. Ride it, it's nice but there are so many of them out there you really won't get much more than the satisfaction of owning a very clean, older used Harley. Enjoy it.
