The backing plate on the air filter is not there, so I guess it has had something done to the carb, not sure, it was bought this way. It does have a winshield, and my brother removed the samson longshots that were on it and installed the rinehart's that come close to the middle of the back wheel. As for the cold nature of the bike, kinda of hard to start first thing, but then runs great. But anytime you kill it and let it sit for awhile, you have to choke the Heck out of it to fire it back up, so didn't know if this was normal or maybe if he was having some carb problems. I have never owned an EVO, just relaying the info to you that my bro gave me. Like I said earlier, the bike runs great, plenty of pulling power, just not anything after 80. It is a 97 Heritage Classic with about 45000 miles on it. Does not leak or use any oil, just a good looking, great running bike, but nothing after 80. He is kinda upset about this, but I told him that, Hey! you have had this bike for 2 years and you have just now found out that 80 is it's top end. NO BIG DEAL ! This bike wasn't built for speed. But anyway I told him I would put this word out for him and see what the EVO world could tell us. He thinks that maybe he should put it in the shop and let Harley take a look at it, charge him about 300.00 for a DYNO and Carb rebuild, but maybe this might help, but again, He and I are not EVO experienced to know if this is normal or not. Thanks for any input GUYS.
