Anytime you don't want that Bad Boy let me know. Even at large rallies like Sturgis, Daytona etc you don't see many Evo's anymore. I wonder how many are still registered out there. I'd like to have my 91 FXSTC and my 93 FXLR back.

 

It won't be going anywhere as long as I am still breathing.

 

Oh hell yes!


I wanted an Evo for my first bike. I got my Wide Glide a few years ago and love it.


Just recently, I converted my '02 Heritage to carb, and now ride the **** out of it. It's cool and all, but damn when I hop back onto my WG, the Evo just sounds and "feels" so much better.


My best attempt at comparing the sounds; the Evo has a nice, deep "BOM BOM BOM" sound while the TC88 has a "TAN TAN TAN" with the Volkswagen whistle thrown in.


And, I just really love the look of the Evo. The "blockhead" just looks so clean and simple.

 

I mainly ride my 2010 RG but also have 2 evo's. My 93 FXR is a blast and has a sound all its own. Also have a 97 Road King (15k orig miles) converted from efi to carb. The RK has an old school feel and is a piece of cake to work on. Its for sale as I just dont have time to ride all 3.

 

cant get off my Shovel long enough to ride an Evo. So stuck in the past.

Still riding my EVO '94 FXSTS

 

You mean "SEE NO EVO, HEAR NO EVO, RIDE NO EVO" ? Still got the T-shirt, LOL.
Some nice looking EVOs being posted. They're starting to get damn near rare as Shovels around here.

 

If the EVO is so great why are they becoming so rare? Not a jerk comment, a valid question. I doubt they are all being put behind glass on display somewhere to be coveted. Is it possible the newer bikes have more to offer and the EVO's are relegated to the corner of the garage or back shed? I've tried to want an old bike but it hasn't happened yet because the look of a rocker box or a specific sound at idle are not enough to offset all the other pluses a more modern bike offers.

 

1996 FB one bike that will be here until I am dead. It now has a sidecar one it still going strong. Not better than the other two just different . Yes it does get ridden. I am looking for another one.

I don't think EVOs are necessarily "rare"; I see several EVO daily riders around here aside from my own. The late model bikes are awesome (I also have a 2015 Rushmore SG), but the rigid EVO bikes definitely have their charm.

But the MoCo doesn't support bikes after the 10-year mark, so there may be a bunch of bikes out there that need repairs, or are garage queens etc. What we will probably see is the EVOs become like the Ironheads. Classic runners with their own community and good aftermarket support.
