Default Ultra Classic?

Assuming the weather will cooperate and that I won't have to work...I am going to slink into West by gawd Virginia to look at an Evo Electra Glide....high miles but I sure not gonna worry about an Evo motor. It has the shark nose fairing and the lens over the intruments has a crack....but I gotta have something to work on when I can't ride, right? Wish me some luck!

Best of luck and don't don't forget to visit the Evo section, where you can meet up with other current members who own them.

It's a 1989, and it has a Sharknose fairing with dual headlights....no lowers at least not in pix, they may be available but wont know til I get out there to see. Best I can figure its an Ultra something but without the VIN or FLXX model code I cannot be sure...it is advertised as an ultra and best I can make of the pictures it is that, but I cannot be sure which actual 1989 models came with a sharknose......oh well, here's the link if you can figure it out.

Yes, that would be a tour glide classic FLTC. Some call it a tour glide ultra classic. It was the predecessor to the road glide

Ok that helps heaps....hope it's got the air suspension...but so long as it's an EVO I'll be able to do something good with it! Between the owners' work an my own I don't know when I can see it but the money is in my back pocket.....
