It seems that the softail section is loaded with TONS of newer bikes and I don't seem to fit in much with the power programmer crowd So I guess I'll start posting up here unless my bike is too new to be a classic???

Nah, don't sweat it buddy. Mine is a 95 and although it may become a classic before their 07-09's we still can share lot's of info.

Nothing beats swapping out a set of jets rather than f'n around with a programmer...

The great thing about these bikes is that they will truly NEVER lose their value and also, between yours being a 92 and mine being a 95, it was the best years ever for EVO's!!!

I thought 86 was the best year for the Evo.

I dunno what "Classic" is supposed to be in the title, but this forum is for Evo's. Come on in.

Yea, I realized it a while back. The "Dyna" forum really has nothing for me either. I hadnt been there in quite a while, checked in yesterday to see if I missed anything and they were talking about chaps.... This is home for any EVO!! Kinda funny.. When I started getting attracted to bikes, I heard the crochety old timers claiming that the Shovel was the last Harley... Now, I think I'm getting there myself, saying the same thing about the EVO..

I think the 80 in. evo is a work horse. I ride a 91 flhs 75000 miles wouldnt trade for a new one.They have charecter. Remember before you ever heard of a road king?

With you there! My 80 recently became a 107, but still does it for me.
