RE: Classic Evolution?
Since 1936, OHV Harleys have retained the same basic design up to Evo. Mine is composite of S&S, HD and Crane. The greatest improvements in the Evo in my mind are the all aluminum construction and the ease of disassembly with the stud/head nut design. The rocker setup is also an improvement. I see no advantage to the compexity of the twincam at all. All Evos are classics IMO!

If I understand your question, it is "what is a 'classic' Evo?" I'm going with 84-9. I consider the "Classic" Evo to be the one with the separate oil tank, not the one that bolts on behind the motor. I don't know what year that would be, but 1986 is certainly one of them.
If your question was "are Evo's classic?" Then I would have to say that all of them would be classics after the twincam came out.

The question is all about our EVO's, all of them.

Also, dealers that refuse to work on older EVO's shouldn't have the right to hang the Bar and Shield!

With all the complaints I have been hearing about the twin cams and heat you can be sure there will soon be some type of cooling systen. I see the cop bikes are noe sporting fans to keep them cool while ideling.
I also think thay the shift is to be less repairable by the consumer. They want you by the *****. At $95 an hour I still need to do as much as I can at home.
Hell, they can give the bikes away, in three years of shop maintanance and repairs you could have doubled the cost of the bike!
It is worst than owning an audi or bently.
