Awesome job! Makes me jealous!
It is fuel injected - right? It's kinda a religious thing (and a matter of personal preference), but down the road if it gives you problems, you may wanna consider switching it to a carb - easily done, all you need is a carb (stock or S&S) with a manifold.
Another thing to watch for in those, are rubber mounts. If it feels wobbly or uneasy in turns sometimes, check that the rear rubber mounts and the front one are not worn out.

Yes, the bike has EFI. I heard about problems with injectors, but as far as my bike runs now, I didn't notice any problems with injection (exept some backfiring at deceleration). But not looking on this, I consider about change to carb, because I hate electronical systems. I found in ebay s&s carburateur kits which are compatible with EVO and in future once will do it.
Rubber mounts are more or less o.k., have no complaints now.

I bought mine new in 1990, here in the UK, when new bikes were effectively rationed by the factory - they simply couldn't meet demand. During the following years there was a steady influx of imported secondhand ones from the States. I suspect the exchange rate, or the price our market would bear, made it worthwhile. May still be the case today. So apologies for that!

Thanks for appreciation!
