Hmm... Never seen a Tin cover Sportster?????
Curves won't get ya where yer going apparently, since over 90% of the Worlds Fastest/Quickest Harleys are in Fact EVO powered, or at minimum derived from the EVO Base... Course... some just sit and stare at 'em...

It might be the best (to some) but it lacks character, looks like a twinkie but without the power
