RE: Who still rides an EVO motor?

Built my Evo in '95, 80", 4 spd kick only, 4" over WG forks.
Engine HD top end, S&S bottom, Crane 316-2B cam pushing Chr. moly rods, S&S E carb. Love the mechanical simplicity of it!
Frame is custom built to my design, rigid with a little stretch here and there to accomidate my 6' frame, always loved the gooseneck frames.
Conti Blitz(nice and soft ride) front and rear, 21", 16" wires. Dual discs fr, disc rear.
Can't imagine replacing it with any other bike!

One son rides a 98 Lowrider, another son has an 87 lowrider. Second son is on his way to Iraq next week so his riding will be curtailed this year.

RE: Who still rides an EVO motor?

I have my 99 Heritage with 94K on it as my main ride. I see no reason to sell it. I was at a dealer the other day and they said they didn't like to work on EVO's because they were old. Maybe that's the reason mine never sees a dealer
