The rear shocks are actually underneath the bike. They are mounted longitudinally between the frame rails with a cantilever linkage to operate them. They are NOT under the seat.

You do know that the Evo 80 was NOT the only Evo engine, don't you?. There was also the Evo 883 and the Evo 1200 introduced at the same time. in the Sportster. All were AMF engines which was probably the only thing AMF did successfully. The Sportster actually has a better design with four separate gear driven camshafts. Simple and bulletproof. Many riders say the Evo 80 was the best Big Twin engine ever made in terms of reliability, simplicity and durability. While the Evo 80 was discontinued at the beginning of the 21 century, the Sportster Evo engine continues.

The thing about a Harley is it depicts an iron horse perfectly. I ride a 2008 Electra Glide and when I'm cruising down backwoods roads I feel like I'm on a horse. A Harley feels like a horse that's not quite tame and might throw you off anytime. The vibration at idle feels like the bike is breathing. When I get off I feel like I need to tie the reins. Japanese bikes are like swiss watches they're so smooth it's like they're not even running . They put you to sleep , where the Harley has some attitude. Like a fine wine only a true rider can appreciate it.

This bike is a carbureted intake. You arent supposed to jump on it and take off like that. That will lead to leaking base gaskets. You also need to use the choke. Let it idle with the choke on for 30 seconds or so, release the choke then take off, slowly until the bike is warmed up thoroughly. The EVO engine is pretty much bullet proof but you have to let it warm up correctly.

The lovely old Shovelheads ended with the FXWG Wideglide in 1983. Then came the lovely, simple, trouble-free, single camshaft, Blockhead 1340 Evo's; 1984-1999, (with just a little bit of an oil leak). Then it all went wrong, and the Twin-Cam came out with all its complicated, expensive, whirring cam gears, tensioners, and chains!...what went wrong?? Sometimes, older is nicer!....😉...😉...!

Wow Sean, you didn't sound too impressed with the Softail. It leaks. It's slow. Won't get you home? OK. I own a 98 Heritage Softail. I live in Montana where we have two seasons. 3 months it's hot. 9 months it's cold. The riding season is short so I ride a lot when weather permits and it's not snowing. My first season I rode 4000 miles. My first ride was 1000 miles round trip. After the season ended I took my bike in for service. Fluid and tires basically. The oil never leaked. The bike will do 90mph without effort. Stock all the way and it never left me on the side of the road. Now, 21 seasons later, I have 105,000 miles on it. Still doesn't leak, still runs 90mph without effort, and I never have called for a tow or assistance to get home. The bike is still stock and I have never regretted buying it. I am almost 60yrs old and my bike gets regular service by me now. You also mentioned it had one shock. I'm not sure about a 90 model but mine has 2 shocks in the frame just in front of the rear tire at the bottom. My bike has been my pride and joy for many years and a clean Heritage usually means the owner took good care if his machine. I've never had to rebuild my bike either. New starter was 10 years ago and brake pads every 10,000 miles is all I've done mechanically to the bike. They are reliable and usually don't leak. So in short I think the guy/gal that buys or bought that bike is pretty happy with their choice. Just wanted to clarify that not all Harleys are money pits or garage queens and with basic service could last for decades as mine has...later

The evolution motor had already been designed when Harley was bought back from AMF. Harley designed the twin cam in part so they would have patent designs that the aftermarket did not have. The twin cam was the first harley engine that the parts did not interchange to other harley engines. Remember patent designs. I have shovels and twin cams. I am looking for a nice evo dyna. I think the evo dyna is the goldilocks zone of harley. Cost reliability and longevity.

"Vibrate themselves apart" is an exaggerated statement, but you'd do well to always use locktite and tighten every nut and bolt you can each spring. Pay particular attention to your shift linkage, pegs, mirrors, all the stuff that is sort of. 'attached'. On some Harleys these things tend to loosen up even with Locktite.

Had it 5 or 6 years now. Good bikes. Really pretty much the Italian Harley with the engine turned 90° and a driveline. Got a Yamaha XS1100 for while it's down. Never own cars anymore. Will i own a Harley? Maybe. I know they can be reliable. EVO or a real classic like from the 1960's or older would be my choice but I doubt the price has come down like some later stuff. So many of them around now. They were pricier when i was young. Just were not nearly as many then.

I've had a bunch of Harleys over the years and only had one that started to leak. Replacing the seal on the mainshaft took care of that. No big deal.

My 97 had 463 miles on it when I bought it in 2017. First owner won it in a contest. I don't think he was much of a rider and when he died his son who does not ride took it with the idea of getting a license. Child and school and so I ended up with a 20 year old bike w/ 463 miles on it. He had all the documentation and a lawyer to draw up a contract. Love it.

NOT a monoshock. Those are the 2018's and up. The real softail has two shocks that run parallel with the bike on the bottom in front of the swing arm.

I've got a 07 Street Glide with a 103 and I can't tell how many cars are behind me. That Evo sounds like a real bike and my twin cam sounds like a two-stroke JD sputtering out in the field. My 05 sounded the same way. That there Evo was the last of the Harley's that actually sounded like what I think that a bike should sound like. I like it.👍

I’m just as old as that bike and I am just starting to take my motorcycle licence on a 2006 V-Strom 650. Jumped over to my dads 1999 Softail Springer last week when we were out riding and i must say, It’s a great bike! Comfortable, good-looking, machanically raw and sounds awesome. But... It’s not a fun bike, and doesn’t suite me as a 29 year old. But one day, I will own a Harley!

P.S. Most people forget that all the bikes back in the 30s - mid 70s leaked oil. It didn't matter what brand you had. Me and my friends have road a lot of those bikes back in the 60 & 70s. The only one that didn't leak was my 73 Z1 Kawasaki. When better gaskets came along, my 69BSA Lightning stopped leaking. That bike was fast.

Someone has probably already told you. But, if you get Goo Gone you will love it. It will take stickers off with ease. It also works on other sticky stuff. Plus, it has a nice citrus scent instead of a harsh chemical smell. It's all I use! You just put some on the sticker with a rag and rub it in then began with removing the sticker. It will peal pretty easy and just clean the rest of it off with some more goo gone.

I've had a flathead, panheads, shovels, an Evo, and I'm on a Twin Cam now. The Evo was an awesome motor. The TC is a good motor, but have you paid attention to the M8? An 8 valve Evo Panhead. I have ridden it, and drooled.

Mine doesn't leak anywhere, and it has 47,000 and it's a 2003 Evo 883 XLH and I bought it for 1200.00 and put a rear head gasket set on the valve cover and rebuilt the carb and it now works fine and gets it on brother, and gets 35.5 in town and even better on the highway.

Yeah, great thing about Evos is that they didn't really leak anything lol. That would be the Shovel's that were leaking, and in reality even they just had poor QC because AMF was trying to churn them out asap. The big twin Evos really just have that base gasket issue that's not even really an issue unless you try to jack up the horse power well above stock. It's actually kind of astounding how solid they are. No lie, if they made new models with new EFI evo's I'd buy them over the M8 models. They probably can't even sell them anymore because of EPA garbage.
