I'm still riding my '92 FXRT/RLE side car outfit. It's got 30 thou on it and still runs strong. 1992 was the last year for the Sport Glide, one of the best bikes that Harley ever made. Too bad they never really caught on, they didn't "look like a a Harley", but they were great bikes. I've been told that Harley only produced two side car models in '92 but, I've never been able to confirm it.
The EVO is a great engine and brought Harley from the brink of bankruptcy. The twinkie is also a great engine but it's not the light year advancement over the EVO that the EVO was over the Shovelhead, trust me, I had three of them.
I've gotta tell ya though, My '95 Road Glide is a better bike!

Have a 1985 FXRT with 64,000 on the clock. This bike opened up my biking world beyond belief. The day I bought it I rode home and had to stop and check things out cause I just couldn't believe the rubber mounted motor in comparison to a shovel. Just amazing. Been riding it ever since, virtually trouble free. I now have a Twin Cam/Sidecar and a 79 Shovel trike to experience all the thrills of riding harleys.
