My first Harley - 1998 FXD
Hey all,
I just purchased my first Harley a 1998 FXD with about 19,000 miles. Regarding the EVO engine and maintenance/problem free riding, does anyone have any tips/tricks or advice for me? The bike, besides a set of Vance and Hines long shots is currently stock.
Thanks in advance

The last Evos are fine. All you need to do, if you plan doing your own maintenance, is get yourself the factory service manual. It will give you an alternative to counting sheep during those sleepless nights and help you out when something needs to be done to your bike. While you're wide awake, ride and enjoy!

Thank you both for your replies.
After reading your posts I spent some time reading up on the INA vs Torrington bearing issue, seems straight forward enough.
What took me so long?
I was occupied playing with mud and rocks in my Jeeps, three Jeeps and 21 years later here I am. I've had my share of bikes in the past mostly dirt bikes and enduro's with the exception of a Honda Hawk NT.
However once I took my girlfreinds Sportster out for a ride I knew I was hooked.
