Re: 1984 Classic
I can only tell you this much about the early EVO's there (EDIT) dependable. My 88 Classic has 42,000 and it runs exellent. besides a few small leaks here and there it has been a very good scoot.
Please read this...

Re: 1984 Classic
I ride an 84 Evo FLHTC. 70K no motor work and no troubles (knock on wood - can't believe I said that). The early Evo's seemed to be bulletproof. Starter and other electrical issues developed around 60K but that's probably normal.
Make sure the ignition switch is functional - all the positions - It's long obsolete, hard to come by, and hard to cross. Not saying this should be a deal breaker You will have to be a bit careful and creative with some upgrades - the 84 &1/2 seemed to be bolted together from anything they had in the warehouse while they tried to get some Evo's on the road. Those issues aside, I am very happy with mine and hope you would be, too. I think I paid about that price in 1988. |

Re: 1984 Classic
I have a 1988 FLHS with original paint and 104K miles. The bottom end has never been opened. The top end came off twice. Once for base gasket leak and once to replace the valve guide seals. All EVOs have the same bottom end that is die cast cases. The last Shovelhead in 1984 had this lower case set up making it the best Shovel ever made. The price being asked is a little above Blue Book but that part is up to you and is it worth it. Fossil
