My name is Steve. I am a new member as of now. I live in Garden City Michigan. I ride a 1985 FXRS Lowglide. Second year for the EVO. I am running 10:1 pistons and an Andrews EV27 cam along with straight pipes and cones. Drinks gas through an S&S Super E. Gives 96'' ers a good run for their money and a little more. Just wait... It gets better....It has 72,000 on the original bottom end!!!

This is my first Harley. I've owned alot of cheap jap bikes before I could afford this one. I have owned it for 4 years now.

Check out pic...Only one I could up load at this time. This was when I was in the process on hard mounting my new soft bags that I purchased at a swap meet.

The old sportster bags that came with bike were not big enough for the wife, purse ect......... Time for an up grade...Gave me something to do over last winter.

Hi Steve. There's no shame in coming up on metrics- many of us did as well. Welcome to the forum from Wa state.
