Nope, I bought my bike 1 1/2 years ago locally. 1995 FXDS, almost bone stock and original. 14000 miles at the time.

Well, the old girl is in my garage. I am an EVO man as well as a Shovelhead man! It is a nice bike. I got it out the door with Tax, Tags, Title and Inspection for well less than the listed price. I am a longtime customer of the shop. It was in the low 40's and my driveway was ice free so I brought it home today. I was buying it today all along but was going to leave it at the shop until a nice day. Today was nice enough! Pics are in the ad in this thread.

I told them I don't care if it sounds like parts are falling off. *** the the timing chains. I had to take the bike back to be re-tuned because it was running lean. The dealer charged me again but still had to bitch at me because I wanted the fuel mixture fattened up.

Sticking with EVO's. They are simply complicated enough.

You should have bought a Dobreck Tuner and done it yourself....or a Vance and Hines....or anything, you don't have to tune a Twin Cam at the dealer after mods...I have done heaps of them and not one of them went to the dealer for tuning.
