If I had to pick a suggestion it would be to freshen up the dash somehow. That's the part I'm believing you see the most. The rest is what we look at when you ride by.
(still waiting for Graham to hit you with the engine, brake, suspension and swingarm upgrade suggestions )

4- I like,I LOVE, the sound of an evo
5- I like that evos are becoming almost exclusive for true "get ur hands dirty" riders
6- I like that an evo will last forever
7- I like that everyone envies the sound
8- I like that girls love a vibrating evo...
9- I like that it marks it's territory (not in my house though)
10- I like that twinkie riders will always envy the History of the EVOLUTION engine

Reasons why I'd like a twinkie:
1-vibrates less

Does that answer your question? :P
I know most will agree that what I like is what they like too
we have nothing to envy twikines,we can come across 60hp with cheap bolt ons, while the twinkie evolved from 88" to 95" and just gained 1hp in the process,asfar as chrome goes... what'sthe difference? twinkie chrome looks shinier because it´s virgin chrome... does not have the history our evos have... it's like comparing old caddy chrom to the new chrome on cars!

PS: brought some strawberry ice cream with some cherries but nobody wanted, so I ate it

Speaking of shiny, when we were in the dealer a couple of weeks ago, my wife was looking at all the new bikes and said "they look just like Bertha, but they're not as shiny." That made me chuckle. And she's right... the overall H-D bagger look really hasn't changed much at all since the Evo was introduced, and the Shovelhead baggers before that looked pretty similar, too. You can dress up an older bagger with various parts to make it look very "new".

Anybody bring any cake, cobbler, pies, french pastries, ice cream, or anything else tonight? I'm in a hotel with none of these treats readily available...

ridemywg, I've owned my 1990 Evo from new and it has been through several states of tune. I started by riding it stock, but early in its life I did all the 'stage 1' things, plus an Andrews EV27 cam, which woke it up a lot. Living in the UK the 'International' models we got were more restricted than US versions, so they had more scope to improve them.

But one thing leads to another and after a few years I had it stroked, heads flowed, high comp pistons, etc and ran it for several years like that. I have commented about it here on HDF before and one or two of the regular dealers have commented that they know how to get similar performance without stroking. So if you would like a little more 'go' consider talking to a few of the regular specialists on here.

However, be warned! More 'go' begats the desire for even more GO! I now have an S&S V107T, which has a remarkably flat torque curve and a little over 100HP/TQ, which should be enough for any 'Evo' rider! But......

I'll save the other things I've done for another day!

#11, a dude says a new 95 version fairing and dash will fit a 89 Ultra
If there's not much a difference between ur FLHTP and an FLHTC then this mod should freshen up the look
