So it's been about 8 years since I've had to buy any aftermarket EVO parts. What the hell happened? Parts used to be in abundance, now they are darn near non existent. Even J&P Cycles hardly carries any aftermarket parts for 84-99 Softails. Guess I better scrounge everything I can find before it's all gone. Anyone know of a company that's catering to these old sleds? Somebody had to buy up the inventory.

I know what you mean, I have a 95 Dyna and parts seem to be getting fewer and further between.

You can always try Temu, I hear there's a coupon floating around this site somewhere.

I hate to tell ya folks, but the newest EVOs are 25+ years old now. I remember during the EVO days the Shovel and Panhead folks saying the same things. I remember the Panhead guys telling the Shovel head guys "welcome to my world". Soon the twinkie guys will be in that boat.

It just surprises me, given that so many custom builds were based on the 84-99 parts bin, but I still wouldn't trade my EVO for a new Harley.

How can this be? My EVO is my NEW bike. I can buy parts for the ironhead and the shovel all day long.

Yup, I guess the supply will increase when Evo's become the new Shovelhead.
