Very good looking machine! I too went that route installing a 124" S&S Evo in my RK.But in defense of after market TwinCams,they are bullet proof bought from a reputable Co.

So what did you do to it? Looks like last year's flat red paint. New tins or old? What exhaust? And so on.

, well you just put the two worlds together and you come up with a streetglided evo..

, what do you guys think?

Wow! That is one good lookin' scoot! I love the red denim paint - it looks great on that bike. I wonder how that would look on Bertha? I've been thinking about having her painted in black pearl, but...

You could take that bike that to a twinkie rally and no one would ever know you're an undercover EVO agent! I doubt they spend much time looking at the engine details there - except maybe to see if the jugs are "diamond-cut", or if you have chrome spark plug covers... (I actually DO have chrome spark plug covers on Bertha, BTW...

Yeah... we can leave 'em in the dust for sure! They'll still be negotiating the turn when we're at the next light...

And we're actually 81.76 cubic inches... 1340 cc = 81.76 CI. Never could figure out why the MoCo didn't advertise 82 cubes on the Evos... guess they thought 80 CI was a nice round number that looked good in print, and they had made 80 CI engines for a long time. Tradition is strong, but can be blinding sometimes. Frankly, I think they should have gone to 84 CI with the Evo, since it came out in '84... I should have gone into marketing instead of IT!
