Keep the EVO...Loved my 97 RK with it...Mine was carbed and changed out to the Mikuni and it was a blast..

Cool thing about evos is you can replace them with any aftermarket evo style motor, S&S, ultima... I'd say get a 100" plus ultima motor for cheap and throw it in there if you need a new motor. Or hell get an el bruto 127 in there and you d be set

Kevin where in the internet would you find these engines? Are they expensive? OR are they a resonable and reliable engine to put in? Most people who have done extensive work on EVO's have had issue's with the MM F.I. I have gone to a couple of HD dealers and they all say that MM is an issue if you have a worked engine or are going to do it?
Those engines fit right in and how are they with the Trans ? Does that have to be switched also ?

To the young guys EVOs are old motors. They are familiar with the Twinkies.
Find a reputable indy in your area.
Sounds like the bike is in great shape, what is wrong with the engine?
