    I have just added a 98 Road King to my collection of one other Harley, my Duece. It was advertised as having a 95" kit added last year. It has 28,000 on the bike. What is the life expectancy of an EVO motor with that kit installed. I'm not sure of any other tech or maintenence details. Bought it to ride on longer trips than I prefer to go on my Duece. After all, what's wrong with having more than one Harley?
    Thanks for any feedback,
    Bones

    My first 98 EVO was an Electra Glide. Buying it from my brother in law, no money changed hands before I got ran over from behind on it. So, I never got to find out first hand what it was really like. Although the one I am picking up next weekend is supposed to be a little hotter than a standard.
    Thanks for the reply.
