Thanks for the Replies and Info Guys, I have sat on a few and Love the Feel of them, I am looking at the older Bikes but have My Eyes on a 08 Model Heritage also, I Love the 6 Speed and Fuel Injection but would like to go back to some Old School Stuff also. I will see how things Go. I Love My Road Glide by the Way and want to keep 2 Bikes.

Had a 91 heritage for 14 years and love it!!!! Took it every where I now have a 08 rocker and I love it, as far as an Evo I wouldn’t hesitate to get a 90 and above. Stay away from 84 unless you have a lot of patience.
Evos are a good buy, I ride really hard and I have found that the 6th gear is not a big deal,
For the record I have had a HD since I was 18 and the 5the gear is a lot better than a 4 speed but I could live without 6th, stay 90 up and you will have less problems with leaks if you do get a leak “James gaskets work well on evos” my 91 never left me stranded
They changed the oil pump in 92 it is better.

I had an old 1988 Heritage Softail with an Evo....
It was a bit cold blooded in the morning and didnt have much giddy-up but it was a fun bike.
Sold it and stayed clean for years. Then I relasped....
Bought this 05' Night Train from a fellow member of this fine forum.
Its amazing how it starts right up on the coldest morning and runs perfectly.
Mine has a 95" big bore kit, Cams, exhuast, air cleaner and it is just downright fast compared to my old Evo.
Mine still vibrates, its noisey, and to me when I think Harley Davidson in my mind this is the bike i pictured...
So I bought it. Its a blast!
No regrets.
I go trail ride my KTM when I really want to get roughed up!
