Man you hit the nail on the head Matt. I own a 98 dyna wideglide and LOVE IT!!! I proudly added an 02 tdub about 5 weeks ago. Best of both worlds IMO. Keep the rubber side down and I'll see ya down the road.
Best of both worlds for sure!! The Tdub does everything the Harley won't and vise versa for the Harley! Thanks for watching and all the best!
I got a 98 eg and I love it I take it every where old girl has not let me down yet evo is the last of the great Harley engines
What is T-Dub?
@@charlesmorris8491right???
The EVO motor is THE best motor Harley Davidson ever made!!! I've owned shovelheads, twin cam 88 and more than a few EVO's, and over all EVO's have it. I have a '99 Heritage Softtail now, and wouldn't trade it for a new one!!!
I Love my FatBoy with the Evo! I love the sound and the feel the bike has, it has some pretty cool character to it for sure! Thanks for taking the time to watcha and to share your comment. I really appreciate and here's to many more miles ahead!
Man I’m with you. The new bikes don’t have the soul these evos do.
I bought an Evo. It is a 1994 Electra Glide classic with 125K miles and all original. It does not leak oil. It has good compression and makes good power. I will ride it until I die.
SWEET!! That is good to hear! Best of luck and enjoy the ride.
That's some healthy mileage! The '94 Dyna Wide Glide I just bought recently only has 27k
Keep those old Evos alive! I have a '94 Wide Glide stroker that I will likely leave to my son someday.
Nice! That's where this one came from, it was given to me right before my dad passed away. I will have it for a very long time!
Cool, just got a clean '94 Wide Glide.
My Baby is a 1996 Softail Custom...the feeling, the sound, the vibrations...after seconds i started to ride it there's a big smile in my face...EVO is the best. Nice Video, greetings from Germany
Everything you said is the exact same way I feel with my bike! Thanks for watching and for the comment! I love Germany, my great grandparents were from Nürnberg and I lived over there for a few years mostly in the Nürnberg area.
When people speak so well of a motorcycle engine and keep it for like forever you know you have a good bike.
Well said Frank! Thanks for watching and for the comment, I really appreciate it!
In the early 2000s, we bought a brand new Harley Davidson Twin Cam Fatboy. The Wife & I loved that bike. Back then our payments were $350 a month. a short time after we bought the FatBoy I got laid off from my job. We decided we had to get out from under those HD payments, so we sold the Fatboy. As a experienced Machinist, I soon found a new job and we saved our dollars and pennies until we had enough to by a used Harley Davidson FatBoy with cash. We were lucky to find a Bad Ass Fatboy owned by a Los Angles Police Officer who was asking $10,000 for a Custom 1992 Fatboy, with Harley Davidson Factory 57' Chevy Blue & Cream paint, Fat Bob tanks, PM wheels & Disk brakes and a stock Evo 80ci motor and cobra long shots pipes. After a little negotiation and whipping out an $8,000 stack of one hundred bills, the Bike was ours! 20 years later and attending the Sturgis Bike Rally for 17 years, we are still riding our 1992 FatBoy and still loving that Evo.
Hey Chris! That is an awesome story and thank you for sharing it! That sounds like a great bike and some great times for you and your wife! I'm a huge fan of the PM parts and the attention to detail they have. Here's to more good times and even more memories with the bikes. Thanks again and all the best!
Have had Sportster, TC88 Road King and M8 softail and am looking at buying an old 98 Fatboy with springer forks as i miss the sound and simplicity of a carbed Evo. Not many motors sound better than a carbed Evo. That they are so reliable and simple to work on AND have gear driven cams is a great selling point to me.
I agree with your comment 100%!! Thank You!
Fat Boy with Springer forks? Aren’t you talking about a bad boy? Unless it’s a modified Fat Boy, but that would look very strange I guess…
That shake at 65+mph is radical. I'm just getting used to mine. Landed a 97 with 1500 miles!!!
Chances are that the steering head bearings need grease and need to be adjusted. I just got back from riding mine on a 65 mph road and don't have any shake it in it at all. That would be the first thing I'd do if it shakes like that. But first, CONGRATS on picking up the bike! I can't believe you found one that old with so few miles! Here's to many miles of riding ahead, I've got almost 50k miles on mine and I love it!!
@@MOBStreet83 appreciate the pointers!!! I'll have it looked at.
@@JuanGarcia-no2wq You bet! If you can't find someone to look at it, I will make a video on it to show how it's done!
@Juan Garcia if you haven't figured out what's causing the shake yet check the sway bar bushings and the motor mounts. On such an old bike the rubber gets dry rotted causing too much play even on low mileage bikes.
Of course you should buy one . They are affordable, plentiful, and easy to work on !
And they look great, sound great, reliable, solid, well built beasts!
@ ATC Joe Well they're easy to work on. Not too plentiful lately and affordable not thinking so unless it's got a million miles on it.
Watching him ride that bike and smile was much needed
Thanks, I appreciate it! That bike brings a smile to face every time.
I found a 95 Fat boy back about four years ago, two tone paint and it had 845 miles on it. I pounced on the deal; that bike might as well been classed as brand new. heck you don't change the break in oil till you get 1000 on 'em. Who ever had this changed the fluids seasonally. I have rode the crap out of it. All my kin like the two tone paint, they think my fat boy is the prettiest one i own.
That's AWESOME!! I love it! Ride Safe!
I know someone whose friend bought a Fat Boy. When he pulled up outside his house when he was at the front, he said, "So you got yourself a Fat Boy, then?" "Yup" came the reply. ""Nope, he replied back, "I was talking to the bike..." 😆
That's funny!
Matt this was a great video. It’s heartwarming to know you’re enjoying your Dad’s Fat Boy.
Thanks! I am really glad you liked the video. I love this bike and will have it as long as I am around. There are more videos coming out on it soon! Thanks again and thank you for subbing to the channel!
You can go out and buy a 30 yo Harley and people will think it's a 2023 Harley.
Yep, some folks won't even know!!
I dont have experience with the HD brand. Never owned one. But right now I am looking at a 98 roadking Evo. Really love the roadking because its my favorite HD. The engine has about 35k miles on it and is maintained well.
Hey Vincent! I love Harley Davidson motorcycles. I have been working on them for 15 years and a fan of them since I was a kid. The Road King is one of my favorite models since it is on the Touring frame but doesn't have any of the electronics the other models do. My engine has almost 50k miles on it and it runs like a top! Best of luck with getting yours!
Hey man! I bought an Heritage Classic EVO, they give it to me in one month, I just hope the bike long a lot because im going to use it daily!! Its from 1999 and it seems very take care of. Thanks for the video man!
Congrats on the new bike! I love mine and it hasn't given me really any issues. As long as they are maintained and have the proper care they should last you a long time!
@@MOBStreet83 Thank you so much buddy!! OH YEAH! Reading that is such a pleasure because I will use it for everything!! So excited, I just love classic Harleys much more than modern Harleys
I am with you and everything you said is true..I won't trade my fxr with the Evo with any other bike.
Evo motors love the cold weather.
I don't store my bike in the Winter here in Canada.
I ride in temperature of 25F no problem
Excluding snow on the road lol
SAME HERE!! If there isn't snow on the road the bikes are out!
I'm looking at a 97 FatBoy after laying down my 98 Road King a month ago. I thank you for sharing this style of video. I hope you keep them coming.
Sorry to hear about your Road King! Hopefully you made it out okay! The Fat Boy has always been my favorite Softail and this engine is awesome! I Love the bike and the 97 you're looking at will be the exact same as this one here. Tha KS for taking the time to watch and to comment, I really appreciate it. Good luck with the Fat Boy!
I have a stock '99 Heritage Springer last year Evolution motor it's bulletproof. She rides like a dream. Just a beautiful motorcycle.
Those Springers are great machines! I love the classic look of them and I love the Evo! Thanks for watching and for the comment, I really appreciate it.
You captured that Happy feeling at the start perfectly 👍
Thanks Chris! I appreciate it.
People love the ape hangers (I've had a few) but they just lookout of place on a stock looking Fat Boy. The wide low bars look a ton better to me anyway.
Yep! I did a taller bar setup on a Softail Heritage and these were what I took off. I like both of them and could take either setup.
I found a 1997 Harley street stalker / fat boy with 491 total miles sitting in a guy's garage. I bought it cheep , replaying the tires and oil line's. Runs excellent.
That's a great find!! Nice work!
I’ve got two EVO’s, 86’ FXRS and a 95’ Roadking. My son has a 95’ Softail. All EVO’s, EVO IS KING!
Sounds like a good time over at your place!! Nice bikes and I Love my EVO as well. Thanks for watching!
I,ve had my 97 Evo Fatboy for 16.5 yrs nows , tried a couple of other newer ones , didn,t impress me so i got rid of em , my old girl ( Evo) is still going strong . Love it .
Nice!! I love my Evo as well. It still runs like a champ and that sound with the Vance and Hines exhaust.....nothing better! Thanks for the comment and here's to many more good times on the bike!
Harley Davidson Evo --- Should you buy one? YES! We bought a new 2005 Fatboy Twin Cam, took to to Sturgis 2 years and then sold it to get out of the $350 a month payments, saved our money and bought a 1992 Custom Bagger Fatboy, with factory "57 Chevy" Blue & Cream paint, one of a kind for $8000. Got Cobra Long Shot pipes and sounds Bad Ass! Been to Sturgis with it a dozen times and still riding it in 2022.
I'd love to see that bike one day Chris! That still sounds like a great machine and I am a fan of the Cobra companies exhaust setups!
I have 5 Evos and a 2016 twin cam Selling the T C and looking for another good original Evo The price of them is slowly rising in my opinion a good one that hasn’t been messed with is a good investment as well as a great ride!
Hey Chris! Thanks for watching and for the comment. Sounds like I need to pick up more of these and follow suit. I love this bike and the character it has. Thanks again and best of luck finding another one!
I just bought my first Harley which is a 99 fat boy has been my only Harley I had ever been willing to buy thanks for video
Hey Jason! Congrats on the new bike! I love mine and will have it for as long as I can ride. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. I appreciate it!
I have a 96 Heritage and I wouldn't trade it for any of the newer scoots. I did buy a new 05 Fatboy, and after getting rid of it, I went right back to the EVO.
They are a great machine! I just took mine out again for a ride and it makes me smile every single time.
Very nice ride! I love my daily rider. I ride a 1998 Fatboy. Evo forever. I’ve been riding her for a little over 10 years now
If it's the bike in your profile pick, that's a great looking machine as well! I love mine. Thanks for watching and for the comment, I really appreciate it. Here's to many more good miles ahead! 🍻
It is. That’s my baby! Thank you. Cool channel. 🍻
Mine is a 1995 dyna super glide. It has the 80 inch evo and I love it
A friend of mine had the 95' Super Glide as well! That is a great bike and having those older Dyna's are bikes to hold on to. They have some hype growing with them and folks are snatching them up all over the place.
Have a 98 fxd Dyna-glide 20,000 original miles , going to bury me with this scoot , had a Ironhead & two shovels . This evo is an incredible build ..Thanks Willie G !
Great video and a lovely bike you have there … I’ve had 3 evos now … sold them over the years and regretted every sale. I’ve just bought another 1995 FLSTF Evo last week … 1 owner with 5,600 original miles, so this one will be a keeper … ride safe, from the UK
Hey William! Thanks for watching and for the comment, I really appreciate it. That Fat Boy sounds like a great find! Safe rides ahead and all the best!
I have a 1998 Harley-Davidson road king classic with an EVO motor that is fuel injected (Magnetti Marrelli)and has 116,000 miles on it. Still runs great,although I have had to replace items like the cam position sensor, crankshaft position sensor,but these are minimal costs and I can do the work myself. The EVO is a great motor, but I never would say it's indestructible, cause about that time something would happen.
Hey Kevin!! That is great to hear and I am glad you are still riding it. I agree with you about the indestructible part, don't jinx it! Here's to more good times ahead! Thanks for watching and the comment, I really appreciate it.
I have a 1978 shovelhead, a 91 springer softtail, and 92 Electra Glide Ultra Classic.
Great bikes, all of them.
I have to admit that the Evolution is a fantastic engine and very well designed to be trouble-free as long as you take care of them and don't abuse them.
Sounds like a good lineup you have! I agree with you 100% about the EVO. Take care of it, and it will take care of you. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful bike. I’ve got a Evo under the tank. What a fun ride.
Thank You! It's a great bike with a ton of history. The Evo has a ton of character and I think the two of us work together pretty well. Best of luck with your Evo as well and here's to many more miles! Thanks again!
love them evos
Likewise! Great engine for sure!
Just saw this. Nice bike. Glad you have your Dad's Harley. My 96 Lowrider will go to my grandson.
Thanks Larry! Yeah, I am really grateful I ended up with it. My neighbor just gave his Street Glide to his nephew (no kids of his own) who he taught to ride many years ago and I hope mine will go to one of my kids when I am done. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I have a pretty much bone stock 95 herritage softail. I bought it low mile and its as reliable as a 350 Chevy. It's my daily rider, along with a 71 FLH and I've done 700 mile days on it. Next winter its time to clean up the heads, new lifters and cam and carb. I've owned 3 Evo engined bikes and I think it's the best engine H-D has made. With mild upgrades you can have a 75-80 HP engine that you can ride coast to coast and will be reliable as hell. PS stay with the carburator, and if you buy a FI engine and it goes bad switch it back to carb. The old HD F.I. systems can be a nightmare.
Hey Seth!! Thanks for watching and for the comment! I love this bike and it'll be with me forever! Yeah, the late 90's early 00's EFI was a joke for sure. They have gotten better, but this thing just runs and runs! Yeah, I want to add a cam to this and liven it up a bit! Let me know how the upgrades go for you!
Big difference between that and the TW. Lol. 1999 was actually a split year they made the 88 in 99 so you could get the 80 in³ Evo or the new 88. I had a fatboy 99 with the Eve O engine Those are sweet bikes. The fat boy is the The motorcycle that put Harley Davidson back on the map! Harley Davidson was getting ready to lose the franchise to the Japanese AMF. President Reagan said hell no and help subsidize harley davidson. The fat boy was one of the bombs they dropped on Japan so they named the motorcycle the fat boy and that was are way Of telling Japanese motorcycles were back in the business. I now have a street glide with A 103. I'm always torn on which bike and going to ride either the TW or the street glide.
Valid Point! The Fat Boy story is one that is "Unofficial" according to Harley. But, that is the story I heard as well. I want the 1990 Fat Boy. That has been one of my most favorite Harleys of all time and I would love to get my hands on one, but doubt it will ever happen. I have the Harley for all the stuff the Tdub doesn't do and the Tdub for all the stuff the Harley doesn't do. They compliment each other quite well! Thanks for watching!
I feel it man, just got a 99 softail that I want my dad to pinstripe. I'll keep that bike till I die
Do it! When you do, share the pictures of the bike and the pinstriping! I was talking to a pin striper the other day at the Rat Fink Reunion and he's gonna do some work for me on a bike. I'm stoked! Good luck with yours and yeah, I'd hang on to the bike too!
@@MOBStreet83 It'll be a bit, but I can defiantly post pics when it's done
I have a 98 Dyna Low Rider for sale. $3000. It has the Evo engine.
That's not too bad at all! Too bad I don't need another one yet.
Where are you located??
I would not trade my 1994 Heritage Softail for ANY new Harley. The Evo is simple, reliable, and easy for the home garage mechanic to modify and maintain.
Nice!! Yeah, they are great machines for sure!
Good looking bike man. Extra cool it was owned and ridden by your dad. I often wish I could have one of my dad's bikes he rode when I was a kid growing up. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thanks Mike! I really appreciate it. I am glad I have this one to hang on to.
Cool, bought my Springer new in 1995. Love it.
Nice Darren! Glad to hear that you still have it. Those Springers are a classy machine! Is it the FX or the FL?
FXSTS
Heres the latest on my 97 fatboy. I posted in here around ayear ago and have mine on my channel. The latest is, I replaced my mikuni carburetor hsr 42 mm last month. I took the oopriginal and rebuilt it and cleared the jets, it uses the 48 and 160 jets, and its saved for if I ever need it. The replacement mikuni I purchased which is new is on my channel also. The new carburetor worked out great Tires are new and recently drained the forks and refilled the fork tubes with my preference of oil. Nothing is over looked because I have more tools than your basic gas stations that do auto repairs. The starter bendix gear sometimes slips on my starter but I have a backup used starter I bought from fallen cycles on ebay. So I am completely on top of my 97 fatboy and as I said before I am keeping it for life
Sweet! Thanks for the update Earl! I'll have to go and check it all out. I am like you, the bike is staying with me for life as well.
I did, I loved that bike. Enjoyed many rides on the old girl
Nice bike I just got a 91 heritage same motor
Sweet!! Congrats on the new bike. I love mine!
I have had 5 EVOs (including an FXRS)and 3 twin cams and my 1992 FatBoy is my absolute favorite. With the proper seat and bars, Fatboyys soak up the miles. Sure my Road Glide or Ultra had better wind protection and technology, but I have yet to be uncomfortable on this thing.
That is exactly how I feel with my 1996 FatBoy! I have ridden literally thousands of Harleys and my 96 puts the biggest smile on my face. I love that bike! Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Great video, very cool bike!!
Thanks! I love the bike, we've seen a lot and been through a lot!
Thanks for the video. Thinking about swapping my ‘05 Buell XB12 SS for a ‘99 FatBoy…🤔
You bet! Those Buells are awesome machines too!
Another great video bradda. Like I said on Insta, knew their would be a good story behind it. Love the passion you have for your bikes. Great content as usual.
Thanks!! I love motorcycles and it just gets better when stories start with them! Most of mine now have some sentimental value! Thanks again for watching!
Great video, looking at a couple mid 90's Fatboys right now!
They're worth it!! I Love mine. Tha KS for watching, I appreciate it!
I have that exact model & love it!
You and me both JJ!
Very cool bike and great story. Thanks for the sharing.
I'm glad you liked this one too! Thanks for watching both of the videos today. I think it is a great bike and the engines are rock solid and worth investing in. 25 year old bike and she's still running strong!
My 99 night train with an Evo is pretty smooth I mean yea it has some engine vibration but compared to my shovel it is smooth
Agreed! Mine doesn't even bother me! I love them!
Have 98 fxdl it's rubber mounted. Evo nice bike, you have softtail evo engine on frame, nice bike
Thanks! Yeah that fx is a great bike too! Thanks for watching!
I paid $3,500 for my Fatboy, they're great bikes!
Nice! That's half of what I paid for this one 15 years ago! I've done quite a bit to it since then though. 😀
@@MOBStreet83 I've spent 6 grand in mine over the past year myself including the addition of an Ultima 113" 130HP motor. It's fun
That sled sounds pretty damn good, ,,,, Excellent find,,,,,,,,
Thanks! I Love this bike!
Nice bike, I like it better with the front fender on it...
Me too, but my buddy landed on it with his bike and we haven't had it fixed and painted yet.
It’s like your reading my mind
They are a great machine! I'm a fan of the Softail Models myself.
I own a 97 fatboy, orange and black original paint, and original engine and bars and wheels. The only thing that is not original is the drag pipes. No mufflers and no baffles. There is no harley that can be made today that would make me get rid of mine. Mine is for life time. Everything on these is fixable and remain as new even when they become 80 years old. It sounds identical to the mans fatboy in the video
Nice!! Great machine and you're right, you take care of the bike and it'll last you forever! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@MOBStreet83 Our fatboys look very close to identical. Center of my wheels came black and yours came with a lighter color. Mine came with short shot pipes, but I purchased some fish tail straight pipes for 99.00 for it and installed with clamps to the short shorts. I turned one fishtail sideways and the top one upright, because the pipes are too close together to run both upright. I did this because it makes the bike look like its for the more mature person as to where the short shots looked like it was some drag racing. I have a video on my channel of mine thats called 1997 fatboy prt2 that about the fourth video from the top. The beauty of these fatboys is the fact they can be dressed up to be same as the electra. The evo was the best engine for sure. I am an older mechanic and know what the good stuff is
Geez, you seemed to have all the toys I want! I really want a sportster with an Evo motor in it. I want to build it up like a carducci dual sport
The Sportster is an excellent machine for all sorts of things! I've wanted one to build a street tracker like the one Mule Motorcycles built, just not a 1660cc ua-cam.com/video/EanRv3TlDnk/v-deo.html. The Carducci is a great looking machine as well and I really like how they've set it all up. They only downside for ME would be dropping the bike on that custom tank they build for it! 😂
I have a 2015 softail slim 103 and love it. 0 issues 40k. But I still love the EVO and fat boy combo
The Slim is one of the best looking bikes to come out for a long time! I loved the "S" in the military green they did! I wanted one of those forever! One day, there might be one sitting next to the ol' Fat Boy in the garage!
@@MOBStreet83 I wish I could win the Powerball and buy everybody all the bikes they want. I want a shovel and I want a fat boy just like your dads.
Also if you ever go the whole weekend again at Laguna Sega Friday they let you pay $50 you can ride the track. I did that on my fat boy my street glide and on my ninja ZX 1000 R
I didn't know you could do that!! That would be a blast to ride the track. Now I gotta go back out there. That was a crazy trip though, we left here and there wasn't any snow. It was the end of September and we took highway 50 out West and thought we'd go up over Yosemite and drop in that way.......Mother Nature dumped two feet of snow in Yosemite that weekend and we found one road that was open that was 75 miles through the mountains and 25 miles and hour the whole way. On the way home we dropped from Monterey down to Bakersfield and caught I-15 back into Utah......It was like a 2100 mile trip. But, good times for sure!
Those big bore pipes give a beautiful deep exhaust note.
I enjoyed the rides by's
I love these pipes!! When it comes to the Softails, Dynas and Spotster models Vance and Hines makes the best aftermarket exhaust. The quality and sound are top notch! Thanks for watching, I am glad you liked it.
Will the Evelution fit on the TW ? You know, to give it a little more zip .
Ride safe Matt .
Don't know if the Evo will fit, but I have wondered if I could fit the Sportster 1200 engine in the TW.......The Sporty engine is an Evo style motor with 4 gear driven cams so they are rock solid as well.........I've looked for donor Sportys just for that reason!
I love my 93 FXR covertible. Rubber mounted, only drawback was the iso cam bearing!
Gotta love the FXR! I have 50k miles and 27 years old and the bearing has been okay so far (as I knock on wood!)
Have 98 fxdl. Did u replace it and lifters? If so curious cost ty nice bike
ur dad(RIP) had it right,, I've got a 98 FXSTC and a 99 FLSTF and love them both.
Thanks JukeBoxHero's, I really appreciate it. I love these Softail models! Best of luck with both of yours and here's to more good times with them! 🍻 Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Tomorrow night taking a ride over on the hog to Vegas all the buffets are open now
My favorite is the Buffet at Virgin River in Mesquite.........I know it might not be as good as some others, but that is what I grew up with. We'd stop there every summer on our way to visit family in SoCal. I'm jealous, that sounds really good!
I have a 1997 Heritage and wouldn't own any other motor but an Evo mine has 49,000 original miles but only 13,000 on it since it was rebuilt .I have a S&S E carb.
My 1996 has just under 50,000 on it and luckily I haven't had to rebuild it yet! They are sweet bikes and I love it! Thanks for watching and for commenting.
@@MOBStreet83 Mine had to be rebuilt from a wreck the cases were cracked it has after market cases and was rebuilt top and bottom It runs pretty good I've had it up to about 95 mph I don't know what all was done on it when it was rebuilt but its strong and you can take your hands off the bars at 70 and it goes straight as an arrow ill never sell it .Evo's forever !
I had a 2002 Honda vtx 1800 S it was fast I had it up to 130 but only once just to see what it would do . it was quick to do the quarter mile in less than 12 seconds but Im 57 and since I got another Harley I had a sportster years ago , I won't own another metric ever again .
Smile says it all rock on bro
Thanks! I love this bike!
95 dyna low rider over here still runs good
Nice!! Hiw many miles so far?
@@MOBStreet83 i got it with 49,000 a couple years ago and now have over 52,000 runs like a champ, and absolutely love the evo angines
Just bought a 98 Fatboy... yeeeeeah haaaaaaaaaaaa
Nice!! Congrats on getting one. Here's to many good times to come!
The Evo makes u feel you're soul
I completely agree!
Great bike ! Thank you !
Thanks! I appreciate it.
I ride nothing but Yamahas, and I'm trying to wrap my head around vibration being a good thing. Lmao!
My TW200 actually vibrates my hands worse than the FatBoy. At idle, the FatBoy rocks back and forth like no other but at speed it is doesn't bother me at all. I ride my TW and it vibrates at speeds and it drives me nuts. I haven't been able to figure it out.
Nice looking bike. Any tips on how to tell if a bike has been well taken care of? Aside from looking to be in good shape (looks can be deceiving).
Thank You! Yeah, if you are looking for a bike ask them not to start it before you come see it. Listen to how well it starts, runs before it is warm. Ride it and see how it feels. Does it feel planted and solid or does it shake and wobble or feel uneasy? Check everywhere for leaks. If it is super clean that could mean they are trying to hide something. Check underneath by the oil drain plug and see if there is a little residual there or if it is spotless. Talk to the person and see if you can get an idea of what kind of person they are. Those are just a few things I do, I hope that helps!
I love those pipes.
Vance and Hines Big Radius!! They sound SO much better in person. They make me smile all the time!
I need those pipes for my 97
I love these pipes! The sound great with the Evo!
@@MOBStreet83 they sound amazing on yours. I wouldnt trade my evo fat boy for a brand new 2024. I bet you agree
Absolutely agree with you! Mine won't ever go anywhere. If anything, I will just add more to the stable!
I like the EVO's a lot, Maybe I should tell You that I used to be a (Service Technician) back 1n 1999, lost my job doing something very-very Stupid, I went out (Drinking Beers) and I laid my bike down in the Median-Strip and Slid with My bike all the way across it to the other-Side, Right as another Motorcycle was coming down the Road. And I guess You already guessed what Happen, Right I Got Run over, My Head, But I got back at the individual, I caused them to flip over the Guard Railing on the Side of the Road, They got up after the Crash, Picked there Motorcycle Up Abd Rode and Got Me Some Help. Know I'm Living With A Brain Injury ! ! !
That doesn't sound fun at all! But, at least you're still living! Thanks for watching and for the comment, I appreciate it.
I wouldn't get tired of the exhaust how you got it. How does the fat boy compare to a sportster in terms of size?
Hey Justin, I love that exhaust. It doesn't bother the ears at all and they sound great. The Softail Model is a quite a bit longer and wider than the Sportster models and heavier. They have a bigger engine and the frames are bigger as well. The seats on the Softails are pretty low and they are very easy to ride. I'd recommend one all day long!
The only bikes that were (are) rigded mounted are the soft tails all others are rubber mounted doesn't matter if it's an Evo or not.
I thought the Dyna's and the Sportsters were rigid also until 2000. I could be wrong, it's been a lot of years since I worked for them.
@@MOBStreet83 I really wasn't thinking about sportsters they never cross my mind
, but you're right they are ridged mounted. Dynas, early low riders and baggers are all rubber mounted etc
and are rubber mounted A motors. Soft tails are ridged mounted B motors.
@@MOBStreet83 the Sportsters were solid mount until 2004 then they went to the rubber Mount frame. When Norton made the ice elastic frame for the atlas the bike lost 30 pounds in weight. When Harley rubber mounted to Sportster a gain 80 lb in weight. What's up with that?
Esta bonita y suena muy bien
¡Gracias! Realmente lo aprecio. Esta bicicleta es una maravilla y me encanta el sonido de esas pipas de Vance y Hines. ¡Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de mirar!
Beautiful Bike
Thanks!! I Love this bike!
How’s the soft tail and seat over a long distance,how’s your back and tail bone feel after a long ride?
I've done some long days on the bike and for my height and weight it is fine. I've done a 12 hour day, which I don't recommend and I was ready to be off the bike. More tired than really anything hurting.
Do the Super E affect the sound over the Keihin?
The intake sound it does for sure. The pipe output, I'm not totally sure.
Cool!!!
Спасибо!
The smile you get when you twisted the throttle should be reason enough to buy an older Harley. I've got a 1995 Fatboy, I'll never own anything newer then that.
Yeah buddy! There is a lot of history between me and this bike. That smile means a lot more than just being on the bike. Tha js for watching and for the comment Thomas, I appreciate it!
Have you done anything to your? Like ina bearing ? Base gaskets ? Cam chain tensioner ? Primary work? Or just base PM care all you done. Is the s&s carb better the the old mukuni 42. I am thinking of buying old 96 with 10k miles that's been sitting for years. I know I will have to flush everything and start new, but wanted to know your journey with the evo ownership
Hey Jesse! No, I haven't done anything to it yet, it hasn't needed it. Just regular service is all. My dad added the S&S before I got the bike from him. It actually runs great and is most happy with wide open throttle. It has been pretty solid for the last 15 years that I have had it.
@MOBStreet83 sweet going to buy a 1996 Flstn in a couple weeks with 10k miles on it all stock so just wondering about the bikes same evo 80in just getting idea of the evo bikes
You can't go wrong with the EVO, they are great engines! Not to mention, the Softail is one of the best looking Harley families of the 90's! Best of luck with yours and I hope it goes well for you!
Hi. What seat do you have? Is it comfortable for few hours drive?
It is from Drag Specialties. Here is the part number for the Drag Specialties Book 0802-1365 Predator III Seat. I have ridden 12+ hours on it before. Condition yourself first with a couple of rides and make them progressively longer and you will be ready for a good long ride!
I have a 1990 fat stinky and it has a top end tap that is driving g me apeshit crazy chasing it
Back in the day, around the late 90's early 2000's the comp sprocket nut would be slightly loose and cause a knock that sounded like it was coming from the top end. All you needed to do was remove it, add some thread lock compound and torque the nut again and the sound was gone. Don't know if they did that back then, but might be worth looking into.
@@MOBStreet83 thank you brother I will look into it , the sound seems to be coming from right side
That's what is crazy about it, most of the complaints were that it was coming from the right side. Best of luck and let me know how it goes!
@@MOBStreet83 will do brother love the videos on the older evo bikes
i'm looking at a 94 fxd. do you know anything about that model?
I know that it has a cult like following and they are one of the more popular Harleys out there. After SOA they kinda really took off even more than they had before. The EVO though is a great engine and there are mods galore for that bike.
@@MOBStreet83 thnx, got it.
which exhaust brother ?
These are the Vance and Hines Big Radius!
fire, how tall are you ? greetings from germany @mobstreet83
Yes..
I agree!! Well worth it!
Very cool bike, beautiful condition. You must never sell it as it was your dad's Harley. If you do you will never forgive yourself trust me.
Thanks Hugh! I won't ever sell it. This bike and I have way too much of a history for me to get rid of it. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the comment.
you should make some hats
Well, there's an idea!
Good looking bike but looked better when it had a front fender, looks dumb without
Thanks! I agree, but my buddy did a wheelie on his bike and landed on my front fender.....no lie. I am waiting to have it fixed.
@@MOBStreet83 oh man, that sucks
Hope it get fixed soon
Love the bike
I don't get it. 1310cc for 55hp. Kawasaki ZX6R, 600cc for 129hp. I couldn't see an evo anywhere other than a museum. But each to their own.
Two completely different machines meant for different types of riding. That comparison doesn't make sense at all. It's like comparing a truck to a sports car.
I love my 89 inch stroker evo. She even has a 30 shot of juice. She's no dog.
Yeah Buddy!! That sounds like a great time! Thanks for watching and for the comment.
@@MOBStreet83 it's my favorite bike I've ever had. The new ones aren't Harleys, haha
@@uhyeahitsme413 That's awesome! Yeah, they just don't have as much character for sure!
Evo, until they pry it from my cold dead fingers!
Yep! Mine as well.
