I must admit even though I like the bike overall I can see room for improvement, in cleaning her lines up abit and a little de-cluttering. I also like her because she is abit of a classic and quite a contrast to my FatBoy S and sportster. I'm looking forward to seeing her tomorrow and if all goes well riding her home. Wish me luck.

I like that bike a lot. With the low miles I wouldn't be afraid of it at all, if it runs and sounds good with no unusual noises or odd tendencies when riding I'd personally buy it. Evos are great motors. It would be nice to know what mods if any the prior owner did to the engine and I'd change the cam bearing as I neared 50k miles. Being a bottom breather it'll likely be a dripper but nothing a pan under it can't take care of.

I'd buy it in a minute if the price was decent. I like the looks a lot and I still miss my Road King to this day. Of course I'm kind of partial to the old school looking bikes.

Edit - I would try to find out if it's the original speedometer to make sure that's the right miles.... since things have been changed around.

That is not the original speedometer, so mileage is unknown if that is important to you...but mileage is unknown on any bike that age..too easy to change.

If you like it, that's all that matters. But since you asked for opinions - Evo's are great bikes, Panheads are great bikes. This bike has been compromised as an Evo and it'll never be a Panhead. Not trying to cut on it, just a simple fact. Again, it's all about your taste but you must not be too sure about it to have put it out here for opinions.
