Nice, time to make it your own now. And to add to what mkguitar said, don't use synthetic in your old evo, it will leak. Regular motorcycle 20/50 oil, regular primary fluid and regular trans fluid. It'll run fine and keep the leaks in check.

After you change the oil, Flip to page 2-71 in your shiny new manual and acquaint yourself with your new front fork air control. Run the test. If it works by some miracle great! If not you might want to go to heavier oil and maybe springs, cap off the system and unplug the solenoid.... if it's even still installed. Great bike otherwise! Oh, just keep walking when people ask what year your ROAD KING is....

Not sure what you're smokin', but not being willing to trade your 92 FLHS for a '14 is quite simply ludicrous. No one in their right mind wouldn't make that trade. Perhaps your making the statement "tongue in cheek" and if so....no big deal, but seriously that just doesn't make sense. I've easily got +$30k in my 2000, and I truly love it, but it's gone tomorrow for a '14. Just a lengthy sanity check!

My 1990 air forks still work! Not much that can go wrong with them, although we have solutions now to improve them.

90FLHS we can help you spend all your spare cash improving your bike!

Call in the Evo section to meet fellow owners.

I have to agree, I would not trade my 99 for a 14, no way, I would buy a 14 and keep my 99, but no way am I getting rid of my 99 with timkin crank bearings and forged bottom end, I bet the 99 motor will outlast the 14, your 00 has the same set up, timkin crank bearings and forged bottom end......
