Advice: Looking at a '96 FLHPI
Hey all, new to the forum. I am a previous owner of a 2000 RKC that I loved but had to sell just a couple years back. I am back in the market now and I came across a 96 FLHPI with 80K miles. Looks real nice and in excellent shape and listed as stock, no squeaks, no leaks. Asking $5300.
Any advice about this particular bike? THANKS

there's a echo in here..... do not buy a bike with the early EFI...it's a mess.
the efi was intriduced in 1995 and have less power, less MPG and higher emissions than comparable carb bike.
an evo cop bike may have milled heads which means you can't just bolt up parts- the angle for the intake manifold seals is slightly off, stock pushrods won;t work...
a carb conversion can be done for about $600~$1500 depending how handy you are and how savvy at swap meet deals.

sorry to stomp on your puppy, but we may have saved you.
Evos are great bikes- I have an 88 cop bike.
just keep looking around- a 2002/2003 may be in your budget and will have better version efi if equipped.
the efi version I waited for was the 2007+.
carbs went away after 2009.
a model you might be able to swing is the FLHT electraglide standard.
come with plain aluminum motor, no radio and no tourpak...and has a carb.
these were the bargain of the range
