It also divides the masses in the wild. Everywhere I go people stand around it and point lol. People either think I ruined my bike or they love it and say they are going to do it too. It’s hilarious… it’s like asking if someone places toilet paper rolls so the sheets feed in front or in back.. it like starts massive arguments in groups.

Ebay of course. The only significance is there were already two bulls on it when I bought it.

Last year of the evo was 1999 in the softails I think. Touring switched over the year before that. The touring bikes were on the twinkies. If you want an Evo, I’d shoot for late 1996 or later. Bugs were worked out and they were practically indestructible. Great engines overall.
