A '96 Heritage is an Evo, there was no B Evo.
Evo Softtails are paint shakers all the time.

Danny the Twin Cam "B" motor was introduced in 2000. As was said, there was no "B" Evo.

I've been into these things for 40 plus years, owned my own bike shop and worked for Harley ( Dealerships,) and I still learn stuff in here that I didn't
know before!

And don't feel bad, apparently mike didn't know that either!

no, I knew that ( duh)

I was dogpiling on too!

I have a pretty good background having owned or ridden

VL, U, E, F, W and the later shovel, evo and TC bikes.

( i hate softails though, wouldn't own one!)
