I'm the original owner of my 85 FXWG. Probably would never part with it.

I always thought that in 84 the Evo went in the new FXST and all the FL's, but all the FX's (other than the FXST) still got the Shovel. I do know the 84 FXWG was a Shovel, 4speed, kick start, rear belt. My 85 FXWG is Evo, 4 speed, kick start, rear belt. I chose the FXWG over the FXST because the FXST used a rear chain in 85. I liked the belt on the 85 FXWG better. Less adjustment, no lube, runs cleaner, less noise.
