I went from a Shovel to an 04 TC88, totally missed the EVO era. I was amazed at how well the rear belt worked and how I didnt leave a puddle of oil under the bike. I was also amazed at how far I could ride without something falling off the damn thing and never really having to work on it except for mods. I imagine the EVO falls somewhere in between the two.
