Howdy! After reading many threads over the years, figured I'd join. Riding 30+ years, four carbed Evos and a handful of other bikes (dirt, sport, ADV) in the stable.
As to why Evos and not a variety.. my interest in Harley is definitely inclined in a vintage direction. I'd love to have a Pan and Shovel in the mix, but my free time is limited, and I like to ride as much as possible. Thus the carbed Evo, as a compromise that offers some old timey feel with modern reliability.

Welcome Stan.
I hope you continue to enjoy your ride here with us on the HDFORUM.
Only as a suggestion, create a signature line similar to my one line on my bike information.
The year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at the bottom of your post.
Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question, or to someone asking a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the years.
You can also add a favorite picture to the signature line.
If you like, you can also add another favorite picture for an Avatar you see at the top left of all your post as a postage stamp.

Welcome crlf,
I see by your thread title (delurking) that you are familiar with internet forums. You probably already know about the Evo and carbureted sections of this forum so, I won't mention that.
There's a lot of good info and reading here, enjoy yourself and watch out for the Trolls. You'll notice someone already knows your Sir name.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
