If it was me I'd keep the old Bike as long as it still runs good, and then the day it start's running bad I look into droping in a S&S 124" way before buying a new Motorcycle. But that's just me. Good Luck.......

RE: I think I need some help

How many old ones do you see? You must get a lot of respect for riding a bike you put 100 gs on. Besides, if it looks and runs good, there's a lot less to worry about, like theft, payments and insurance, etc. Besides, the old evo has a lot of different character than the new TCs. Sounds a lot better with pipes, IMO. I just paid off my 03, and eventually, it will get a 95 kit, cams, and a 6 speed. Other than that, I hope to keep it as long as possible. I wannabe an old grey fogey in the lot with a 20 plus year old bike. Kind a like the don't touch my scooter appeal of that.

Besides, there's lot's you can do with the Evos now that so many manufacturers have gotten into the parts business. If it washurting for spares I'd say to go for it, but right now, it's a much better option to hold onto it. Also looks to me like 10K miles a year avg. The posers ain't got nothing on that.

Ahhhh, but now it's time for the real question: Is the TC88 a better engine than the Evo? Or put differently, is the TC88 as good an engine as the Evo?

Let the fun begin.

Freshen up the old girl, maybe even add a little new bling. Then pick yourself up a nice Iron Head Bobber (no jealousy that way)

If it ain't broke- don't fix it. 100K I would think you know your ride pretty well and you have it set up the way you want it. I think I would run the wheels off of her and then get some new wheels.[&:] my .02 cents.
