Dresser Options
Gents,
i just might have the wife talked into riding. Plan on renting an Electra Glide in a few weekends and taking her for a ride. I own a '98 Heritage set for solo now that I love and plan on looking for an evo bagger if she's convinced she likes riding. Question is does an evo have enought *** to haul me at 230 lbs, the wife at 160 lbs and full gear? I know an evo isn't going to be as nice as the twin cam I rent but what differences should I see? An evo is going to be much more affordable than a twin cam and I don't want to spend too much money and have the queen decide she doesn't want to ride anymore.

RE: Dresser Options
I would strongly reccomend getting a 97 or 98 Evo Bagger - the amount of aftermarket support and H-D parts support is stronger for those years than for theoldermodels. I love my 89 and have it customized an all, but all of that is more fabrication and design work , vs. "bolt-on mods".

RE: Dresser Options
I agree with 89FLHT, if you decide on a bagger, look at models 97 or newer. I have a 96 bagger and some HD parts bolt on and some don't. But I still love the bike. I just have to do some customization to get the parts to work.
