I went from a TC to my EVO after having owned an EVO chopper before my TC. I love this bike so freaking much. I keep finding little things here and there. Now I am looking to find an EG Standard or Police bike and make it my own like I did my softail. You will enjoy your heritage alot.

Thanks for the replys , I really like the bike. It was really lean when I got it but runs stong now that I rejetted it. Took the bags ,windshield and backrest off and lowered it about an inch. I had very little trouble from my twin cams but this bike just feels right , reminds me of why i ride Harleys !!

Welcome aboard to a great Evo section and welcome back to a bike with soul, you have a nice machine but the only thing I can say "It is screaming for white walls" Have fun and don't smile too big with the carb idle, allows bigger bugs to go in your mouth
