Hey everyone, new to the forums as well as Harleys. I've had a few metric cruisers, dirt bikes, and sport bikes, and now I finally get to buy a Harley. I almost bought a 99 fxr2 a few years ago, and regret not pulling the trigger on it. Now, I have my sights on an old EVO, but it has crazy high miles, and I'm not sure if I want my first Harley to be that big of a project.

Any advise and help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Matt

Welcome to the forum Matt. Post your question to the Evo specific category and you will get some real informative responses, keeping in mind opinions are like a55holes, everyone's got one and some stink.
