Mine is a 97 with the silver scallops. The dirt-track handlebars were my only complaint. I put the black apes from the Crossbones on it and can ride this bike around the world. I live at the gateway to the “three sisters“ in Texas, I really get more than 150 miles from home, riding the two lanes. I regularly get 52 miles per gallon… It just rides easy. I have the small, removable Harley, windshield that I’ve only put on for a couple of 500 mile trips that makes it quite nice, and the Harley bags that I have on it are quite handy.. I just retired and I’m going to sell it to finance my touring frame dream

I LOVE AND STILL RIDE MY 86 FXTCS BEEN FAITHFUL AND ALWAYS FUN!

Harley should bring back the Springer.

Wowzers man I love this boney! There's a pre-owned bike dealer near me that has a Night Train on the floor with a few subtle but functional aesthetic OEM mods fitted, nothing distasteful. - Mileage is < 4,400 - Asking price only USD $6225?!? - One owner w/FSH - 2007 Model - Stock Twin Cam 96 Only challenge is that I don't currently have the cash flow to throw at this (new to me, but practically new 17 year old gem🤯) Iconic find, and unfortunately because of it's age, no financial institution nor the dealership is willing to even consider financing. In my country once a vehicle is <12 years it's basically cash only unless you take a personal loan which is not a smart financial decision to make. Man, if I had the cash flow I'd have bought it on the spot, driven it to the car-wash for a wash and a hand polish/clay job to make the paint really pop, then home for an oil change and ceramic paint treatment. And I'd have the following done within a week: - Catalytic Converter delete (entirely legal in my country) - 2-1 Exhaust with a baffle (for my ears at cruising speed, and so that my neighbours don't dream of committing Arson). - Basic HFAC that suits the bike's aesthetic. - V&H FP3 Tune. - Dyno run My Harley guy who does all the service work I am still learning to take on myself (Clutch, Water Pump, Timing Chain etc.) has been trying to convince me to let him dyno tune my bikes for 2/3 the price of the FP3 but for Stage 1 I feel like the gains will be negligible over a bolt-on tuner, and I lose the real-time monitoring and diagnostic capabilities. Would only really need a Dyno tune with Stage 2+ tbh. Maybe one day I'll do stage 2 and fit a fat Cam for that mesmerising chop. Sonically, it just changes the entire experience imo. But as far as the performance gains (and perceived gains, which the numbers don't show but you certainly feel when you're riding) I think Stage 1 gives the best value per dollar and for me it's a must, triples my bikes' fun factor! Off topic - who deletes turn signals? What a numpty 😂

I have a gray 97. I've had it since 2007. Its far from original but i have all the original parts. Also its probably the best looking one in the country. 14,000 miles.

Your page is awesome

How much are you into this bike

I've got a 92 Heritage in Teal and Ivory. Making a white guy Vicla out of it. I do love my EVO, but always hunting for a 6th gear. My newer bikes are more refined but no where near the character.

what song was that.

The EVO engine Willy G Davidson’s creation…It was side an all aluminum engine that was side mounted and design to be worked on by any person with a little mechanical experience. Uses less oil and didn’t leak compared to the previous model engines by AMF. The EVO engine is responsible for saving Harley Davidson after AMF sold off Harley Davidson… I own a 1998 Springer, video of it on my channel

I just watched this one and the breaking in video. My 2007 RK is fine at 62k but I'm in love with it and thinking I'll rebuild it and start to save for that when it needs it. You mentioned a Broken bow series... im on the border of AR/OK so it interested me... did you take it down? Or am I just missing it? Thanks and thanks for your service keeping us safe.

I've got my 1998 fxsts that I feel the same way about. I have a hunch it's cammed, I know it's got the good main jet needle in the carb. It's pretty quick for it's age. Had loud ass screaming eagle exhaust that I hated, some trashed out, but original bags on it and best of all , an original quick removal windscreen that I like. It needed tires and throttle cables. I went thru the carb, replaced the dreaded straight pipes with a classic bubs exhaust 2into 1 pipe that isn't obnoxious till you're into it for more low end tourqe. Found original tailight, quick removal backrest, a set of quick removal boss bags and the chrome swept up mini luggage rack to make it a true convertible bike from barhopper to a bike I wouldn't be afraid to take to Sturgis and back. Next project: install of 6 spd gear set that I also walked into. I like the visceral feel of the old gal. Makes me appreciate the notion of putting along the road in a real classic Harley without breaking the bank. Craigslist has been a real help stealing all the accesories. Oh yeah, had to replace the power valve that modifies timing to prevent backfiring when you get off the throttle. My 3500 wonder. Watched the price drop from 7000 as summer wore on. I would never buy a new Harley or anything but an evo. Harley had it right at that space in time. Enjoy your bike!

A motor runs by electricity. Harley's have engines

Nice trip. That's enough to get me to move there from California. Dyna 88

Loving my 113" Ultima El Bruto Motor

What a shame the Mo-Co couldn't put a better cam bearing in the motor from the get-go. They TOTALLY suck

'96 EVO LowRider FXDL

ride on brother.... Absolutely Awesome.

Lifters and cambers

That bike looks tits!! Love the bars. Whatever comes loose just blue loctite it as u go.

My friend that is a piece of American history and nostalgia. The longer u keep it the more classic it becomes and the more $$$ its worth!! And whatever it needs mechanically just keep upgrading as u go and it will become completely restored Nice bike and the evo is a great motor easy to work on and u can up grade to a 93 inch and that will give u plenty of power.

Just wait a few years and buy the new one used or certified preowned and get it for 6-8 grand less. I will never buy a brand new Harley again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 96 blue and it’s my go to bike when I just need my two wheel fix for local putt’ing around nimble and sweet only issue is 90/110 miles max travel

My first Harley Davidson is a 97 Road king with 80” Evo. Love my bike will never let her go!!!

Sweet

With ur evos always let the warm up good before getting on them the base gaskets for cylinders are shit and I’ve blown the rocker box seal before

I am 83 and ride a 99 Softail Custom which I dearly love. But the Springer reminds me of my first Harley, a 1942 "45" flat head in 1955. The springer front ends have a cool factor above and beyond most bikes out there. They are the most unique of all the Harleys. Very nice video.

Im a Lil late but u get the point!😁

The best of both worlds 4 sure, beautiful bike & i hear those pellet grills are amazing. Enjoy my friend!

Just purchased a 2009 night train. Love the feel of it. Just like you said it just speaks to you. I've had several bikes and have a 23 roadglide in the stable as well.

Gotta love the INA cam bearings which HD screwed up by using them on Evos AND Twinkies.

Love Bad Boys . Great lookin bike .

I just got an 07 night train with drag pipes from my wife for my birthday! Its my first bike ever and absolutely love it. Wakes the whole block up lol.

No guarantee that $20k new Harley is going to be trouble free either

Seems like more and more folks are rediscovering the allure of the Evo-era Harleys, myself included. I recently went from a '18 Street Glide to a '95 Heritage Special!

Wow who cares it's a Harley I've worked on my Harley since the early 80s Harley's got one thing Hondas and Yamaha don't have character. And like you said now you got a brand new bike

New used bikes are sometimes the crapshoot for sure, especially when they look clean but it's because they've been scrubbed clean ore test ride for slow leak telltale signs etc. I just bought a super clean '94 FXDWG that had just had a new Amazon soecial knockoff CV carburetor installed. It seemed to need mad choke to run fir longer than it should have and seemed to get hot quickly and had a lean spit sound to it. So, I just oulled the new carb and compared it to the old and the new one is missing certain vacuum inlets so I just decided to rebuild the old carburetor and reinstall it, I got the full rebuild kit and jets for it as I didn't know if it had been rejetted ti match the aftermarket high flowing Arlen Ness air cleaner, which I like for the simplicity and it deletes a silly, terribl looking factory hose. I got another V-Twin to ride that starts immediately and ran great, didn't even need the choke, but it's a liquid cooled Honda Shadow VT1100C '86 model that's a sweet ride with seemingly far more power than the Harley, at least 30 hp rated more from the factory than the Evo 80. It has a coolant leak from the upper radiator hose that's basically impossible to source as an OEM replacement. So, I will match it the best I can to either an automotive radiator hose or have a custome ine made to match. I'm going to change the oil and rear gear oil, check that the cooling system has no other leaks and goid pressure and the gauge shows correctly and ensure the fan comes on and runs well, olus check the water oump flow. After that, I may replace some upper valve train gaskets and call it goid and ride the wheels off it until I get the other bikes up and roadworthy. Good luck with your Road King project sorry you had to dump so much money immediately!

Can you compare the Yamaha Warrior and the Night Train? I'm selling my Warrior now and I'm thinking about getting a Fat Boy or a Night Train. 🤔

What pipes are on there?

I have a 2011 FLHX and just rebuilt my entire camchest all S&S components their customer service was outstanding when I called didn’t initially get though left a message they called me right back and helped me out. I rebuilt the entire primary put a dark horse compensator and Barnett clutch. Like a new bike it pulls great. I have been eyeballing a new motor vs rebuilding my 96” I’m leaning towards a big bore kit and a dark horse crank and a baker DD7 transmission

Cam bearing replacement in evo is fuck all

The real question is what is the best value crate engine now a days?

Can’t get a better bike then the EVO !

I have exactly the same bike but in blue.. unfortunately Ive molested it and nowntrying tonget itbback to original condition if thats even possible.. 😢 i just regreat molesting it.. the era of bobbrr just hit me hard.. 😂😂

Bought mine in 95 when i was 45, still riding it 29 years later at 73. Other riders often ask me if it is new model. Have kept it in pristine condition. Getting harder to ride now so considering selling it my body says it time but my heart doesn't.

I just got my father’s 1996 Road King. It’s being shipped to Texas right now. It’s got 83,000 miles on it. He had it for 17 years and never had a problem. I hope his good luck streak continues with me!

Those old solid mount Softails looked great, but man, did they vibrate once you got much above 50 mph!

Didn’t they have a BALANCED evo?

NICE, WELL DONE.

My dad ordered his bad boy the day they were available to pre-order, He worked at Jim's Harley Davidson in St Petersburg FL and the day the bike got delivered was probably one of the happiest of his life. From taking it off the truck to assembly and the glorious first ride, he loved every second of it. That bike was his baby, I can't tell you the number of miles that have been put on it or the number of times he would take on trips way longer than any sane person would or should. the last time he rode it, it was 2am and the headlight build actually fell out and he rode it the 5 miles back to the house and pulled it onto the lift with what im sure was the intent to fix the headlight the next day, what we didn't know was, the was the last time he would ride it, not only did he ride it at 2am with no headlight and get home but he had suffered two strokes beforehand. He passed away 2 years ago; I have finally built up enough courage to put a wrench to the Bad Boy and getting it running and hopefully back on the road. hopefully someday I can keep the miles climbing and the stories and memories piling on, the way he used to.
