HELP Newbie Evo (update)
Welcome to the EVO area of HD Forums! The people here are great,and have been VERY helpful to me! I am confident you will have the same experience!
That is a beautiful bike you have there! I own a Twinkie bagger as well as the Wideglide shown below! I absolutely LOVE my EVO and have from time to time considered selling the Twinkie to get another!
Enjoy her, she looks beautiful!

Nice ride and welcome to the forum. Glad to hear your wife is pushing you to go for a ride.... that keeps you from having to come up with excuses to ride. Lots of good wrenchers on here - they have helped me out of a bind or two.
Ride safe.

Congrats on your wise acquisition. That's a VERY pretty bike you have there! I love the color. I noticed it already has Rineharts on it... very nice. I love the way Rineharts sound - nice and throaty. Does it have a free breathing air cleaner as well? Kind of looks like it from the pics, but I can't really tell. With the Rineharts, you really need a free breathing air cleaner to produce the best power, and an ECM remapping to get a better (richer) mixture for power. You can spend a lot of time on ECM remapping! The newer Twin Cams run very lean to keep the EPA happy - I don't know about the late EFI EVOs though... but the answer it likely on this forum somewhere. Course, if you like the way it runs, then just leave it like it is and RIDE! Will be cheaper in the long run. More smiles per mile!
You and your wife will enjoy that bike a LOT! '98 was the last year for EVOs on the touring bikes, so your engine has virtually all of the many improvements made during the EVO's long production run, too! I wish my bike was a '98... would be easier to find stuff to fit it. Enjoy the ride!
nice looking bike. im in arizona, mohave valley, by bullhead city. little far to hook up but nice, for me, for the laughlin run, i can almost walk there.

Welcome, Bengo! I am late to this thread. Hang out here a lot... it's the best forum for EVO riders! I've learned a lot here from people with EXPERIENCE! No BS here... just good info, unlike some of the other forums. I've only seen one post from a jerk here, and he apparently left!

Thanks it being the last yr is the resaon I bought it also had the last yr shovelhead wish I still had that one. It runs great thinking of putting in the se27 cam for just a little more. Bikes are cheap here now evos are some good buys, saw a 95 RK at an auction a few weeks ago and knowone was even interested said it was to old if I had the cash on me it would have came home with me but they sold a 2003 rk with no bags for 10,000. I had to walk away laughin. If money comes I think Im going to buy some classic evos LOL, and sit on them for a few yrs. I do belive with the epa rules guys are going to wise up and they will be very sought after.
Hotrod- might be heading your way this weekend never been over there. Ill pm you if I do. Met some realy good guys from the fourm here in town and ride alot with them, this site has been great as my wife and I realy dont have friends here like we did in Boise, but the list is growin.
Make sure you have a fuel management device, like a Power Commander. You live in a large city, so you should be able to find someone to dyno tune the bike after you drop the cam etc in. Don't listen to the Magnetti-Marrelli injection haters. It is a fine system in the hands of a competant tuner. 89K trouble free miles on mine, and it's far from stock.
Do some bike nights and toy/poker runs. Look for the Evo guys. They will be the ones quietly snickering at the twinkie guys.
