Here ya go............

1998 Night Glide

 

Wow some of the most awsome i have ever seen. I have an old light bar with all the lights for a flh it does not look like the new style 90 and up i think its from the 70-80 if someone would like a picture i will send one

 

Heres my '98 FLTRI, mostly stock, only slight mods
1st year RG/last year EVO (The best of both worlds)
E Glide tour pac
Lowered 2' front & rear
19" Front wheel
18" Rear wheel
Danny Gray solo & stock seat
Riders back rest
Vance & Hines slip ons
Arlyn Ness chrome goodies
crash bars
8" smoked screen
original paint
48K miles
50+ MPG runs like a champ (even with MM fuel injection)

 

Here is my '90 Ultra. Used to be an Electra glide, I converted it to a Tour glide....

 

I had read somewhere that the Tour Glide was last made in 91, yet there are pics of a 94? Is it custom or did they still make it then? Just wondering.

 

I believe '96 was the last year. They only came in the Ultra version the last few years.

 

A few shots of my '98 FLTRI with the Danny Gray Solo and without the TourPac.
If you are looking for a sleek solo, Danny Gray is hard to beat.

As far as this topic (EVO Road Glides)
You can't go wrong with a late EVO engine.
They are practically indestructable, they run way cooler than any of the Twin cams with none of the problems in the cam tensioner common to the TC engines (no tensioner required on a single cam)

Harley Davidson big twin engines ran perfectly well since 1936 with the advent of the first Overhead valve engines (EL/Knucleheads) using a single cam through 1998.

If its not broken don't fix it.

The Evolution engine is simply that, the Evolution of the knucklehead, Panhead then Shovelhead, OHV power plant.
each change brought slight improvements to an already great engine.
Perfection was reached with the 2nd generation EVO's (IMO).

Sloppy copyright practices allowed the EVO to be cloned by every aftermarket Co. in the country, along with more stringent EPA emmission standards prompted HD to develop a new engine.
Enter the TC88.

IMO not a good change, but that's my opinion. They have bored it, stroked it, this, that and the other from 88, 96 and now 103 all in the span of 12 years. I'm not totally anti TC I used to own one, I'm just a little partial to the EVO.
The EVO ran from 1985-1998 (some '84's & '99's) with 0 changes in the inherent design.
Twin cams run too hot, cost big bucks to make a lot of power and (my opinion) are not nearly as reliable as an EVO.

Anyone reading this thread interested in EVO's should not hesitate buying one.
They are the last of the best, and still sound like a Harley should. I know, I've owned 9 of them.

 

What are the major differences in the 1st and 2nd gen evos you mentioned? I have a 93, which I am assuming (possibly incorrectly) is a 1st gen.
