EVO Road King
I may be trading my softail Rocker for a 1995 Road King with 22k miles that appears to be in show room condition with some nice upgrades. I have an 01 Road King with a built motor as my main bike, and I love it. So, I'd kinda like to add another one, even though I'd be trading down some years.
Can I still get parts pretty easily on the aftermarket? Like throttle cables for when I do apes on it, etc? Any sites that specialize in evo motor parts and upgrades?
Thanks guys.

Welcome to the Evo world.
You shouldn't have any trouble getting parts, JP Cycles...Drag Specialties....S&S...Ultima all have a pretty good range of parts.
Then you have your small indy shops, some HD dealerships over in there may even have some parts.
Make sure you get a workshop and parts manual as well...have fun.

Basic parts run up to 2007, the frame changed in 1997 making the 95-96 seat selection a little thinner but with some mods the 97 up seat will work, fuel tank is different. Put 16's on my 97 RK, cables are straight forward basically the same as your 2001.
95 should of been a introductory year for EFI, the M&M can limit direction of mods if it's on the bike. Good formula for a Evo is 10.0-1, head work, W6, W6H or EV27, if your not wanting to jump up the compression a EV13 is good. Hillside is a good supplier of parts and several other distributors of Evo parts if you know what your looking for.

I have a 95 Road King and its my favorite bike. Last of the old carburetted models so pretty basic. Needs a cam to wake it up. EV13 works good for where I ride on steep winding mountain hauls. (Stock cam had like negative valve overlap. WTF?)
Plus free flow air filter and slip on mufflers.
Brakes and suspension were pretty ordinary by modern standards so Progressive rear shocks, Intiminator damper valve inserts and Racetech springs up front, plus some four-pot calipers hooked up to the stock master cylinder and running the stock discs. Works well. She just ticked over 60,000 miles and has never missed a beat. Had about 20,000 when I got it about 8 years ago. I replaced a voltage regulator when I got it and the front engine mount isolator recently and that's about it.
It's a keeper.

PS forgot to mention you can still get a lot of parts from HD dealers for the Evo. Often better quality than the aftermarket stuff. Other than that, JP Cycles has just about everything.
