Greetings!

I just picked up a 97 fxd. This is my first Evo. I have an 88 and an M8 but I'm excited about this little bike. I'm going to surprise my girlfriend with this bike, she doesn't know whether she really wants to ride or not. Either way it goes I'm keeping this bike for sure.

It has 21 k on it, seems to run fine just need some TLC.

Looking forward to the journey and the tips from you all.

Welcome to the forum.
Whereabouts in Texas are you?
I was in SE Tx and that's where I found the bike. I'm currently bouncing between KS and Colo enjoying the start of retirement.
