I am simpatico bro....10 grand 15 grand, big fat hairy deal...(other than an orca motor) ;)
I sunk several bits more than that into a 72 year old....with no rear suspension, no push button start, no oil bag, wait; not much of a front suspension either and maybe 30 h.p. to show but what a workout driving that old dog pup. If I went to a gym think of the money I'd save not going to the gym that I don't go to... :nixweiss:
Good luck with the project

Yeah, but that restored Classic of yours is worth some bucks. Mine will still only be worth something to me. But what it's worth to me, is all that matters! ;)

Truely that is what matters most thats why I hang on to a 1975 Honda CB400F, my 1st bike.
Thats why I asked about the paint on the WG...in a couple of years the 35 year old HD's will qualify for submittal to AMCA. The original paint bikes are where the money is at. The difference between a restored classic and and original can be greater than 50%, besides I'd think I'd like an 4 spd evo, never ridden one.

Honored, I am after only being on this site just a little while and being to big a pussy to make the meets.
You are correct sir, the folks here seem nice and normal to me...is that a good thing for them?
I started this thread, so I guess I can say after all this verbal intercouse, no the thread is not jacked. :beerchug:

You're right miker. The '85 4-speed Evo is a rare bird these days. They were only made after the Softails were developed, and shovels were no longer made. They needed to runout the remaining 4-speed frames, and modified the backbones to fit the Evo. The same way they developed the Softail, which is a 4-speed Evo frame, from the seatpost forward. There were no shovels in Softails, so they had to shoehorn the Evo into it. Should this bike not gotten ridden so hard for all these years, it might be worthy of restoring. But that drivetrain is not up to the task of my continuos beatings. So with everything I'm doing to it, won't be worth much besides a great riding bike. It will ride better than it ever did, which was totally fantastic for a solid mounted drivetrain. But with a 110", 6-speed, Traxxion suspension and PM brakes, I doubt it will qualify as "restored". But I don't care. I just want to be free to ride my machine....! ;)

Sure. There is a movement for "period modified" machines. I believe it will have to come into play. Had I left mine alone appearance wise, people would have possibly mistaken it for a ULH (80").
