Long time rider and bike mechanic (metric) and this is my first Harley.
I pick this up on the cheap, and the title says "assembled from parts", so i dont know really what i have.
so far i have determined that it is a Dyna chassis with a EVO motor 1340cc and manufactured sometime in the 90's.
Could some of you guys take a look and see if we can pinpoint the year of the chassis. I would like to get an original tank with the dash to replace the custom stretch
tank that came with it.
Looks like a Dyna to me! There should be a VIN on the frame and the engine number is a short form of that which, if they started out life together, will be similar. There are on-line websites that will help you analyse your VIN.
