RE: older bikes don't get much interest
I cannot convince myself to buy a TC after renting one while my '96 fxsts was in the shop. I've got mild mods, carb/intake, cam, pipes and the TC I rode had carb and pipes and my evo would blow it's doors off (if it had them). Sounded a lot meaner too. Just saw a '96 softail nostalgia green/silver for sale but they were looking to break the bank 16k!!!
Is that what the Thread starter rides?? IF so get some pics, here is mine..

I'll keep riding my 90 Heritage Softail for many more years. I can tell ya'll that here in my part of Texas a good looking early 90's evo Heritage Softail gets lots of attention. I'll always have lots checking mine out everywhere I go!!!

The seat is a C&C seat. Sits about 2 inches lower. I've ridden it about 2000 miles and pretty confortable. Sits you into it even more!!! Here's a couple of pics that may show it a little better.

RE: older bikes don't get much interest
Having built my Evo chopper from the ground up in '95, I consider it my masterpiece after 30+ years as an engineering tech building other peoples designs. A recent wreck has given me the opportunity to rebuild and make some minor changes I've been considering for the last few years. I am intimate with every nut and bolt on it and can't imagine ever owning a twinky(too complex). If you think the Evo forum is sparse, check out the Knuckle forum.
