There are so many aftermarket parts and indy wrenchers that its doubtful that parts will ever be obsolete.JP cycles has always carried anything I need for my '92

 

84-89 of course !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

anymore , any evo is a classic I don't worry about what moco does, I never buy from them

 

Personally, I do consider my '95 a classic. Though, I imagine the rest of the world doesn't.

 

I would say any EVO, at least according to my local dealer. I have a 99 FLSTC and I love it, I have 87K on it and it's running strong. I am thinking about an ElectraGlide Standard, but I want a 1998 or older because I like the EVO motor. I am keeping my Heritage though and was just browsing. The dealer said they don't take those "old" models in on trade in because "they are to hard to work on", I couldn't believe he would make a comment like that.I suppose that is why they never touch my bike. I either do it myself or take itto an independent shop if I can't do it.

 

Im partial to 96

 

I am partial to the Shovelhead and the EVO. Both are pretty reliable enginesand the best Harley ever had in my mind. For Dealers though, they consider both obsolete and do not like to work on them.

More and more HD dealers are employeeing younger mechanics. Older ones are retiring or have their own shop...ones that knew the Shovel and EVO. Youngertech's just don't know very much about the EVO since they do not train on the EVO anymore. Nothing but Twin Cam and the V-Rod stuff anymore. The shovel is antique and the EVO is classic.

The best years of the EVO...all of them.

 

All things considered, I guess my '91 FXRS Convertible must certainly be a "classic" since the FXR frame was phased out in, what, 1993? And especially since the Convertible was one of only 3 FXRmodelsto come with air-charged front end and dual front discs.I founda brand new(sealed in the box)pair of Convertible bags a few years ago at the dealer, snapped them up, and stashed 'em for the day when my originals are too thrashed to keep on keepin' on.

I bought a new '07 FLHTC last week but didn't even consider getting rid of the Lowrider.

 

They are all classics,An Evo is just a ShovelHead with an aluminum top-end.And a few upgrades.I have to admit my first Evo made a little anxious because it was new.It has certainly proven itself worthy.

 

Here are the results so far:

What year Evo is considered a "classic"?
1984-1989 4
1990-1994 4
1995-1999 2

All Evolutions 4

I see we have a poll button now. [:@]
