I put this budget together before I started working on the project and created a Google Sheet to track what I am spending on the 1992 EVO Project.
Build. Tinker. Ride. Trials and Tribulations (and good times) of my motorcycle projects and other garage tinkering. Learning and building things. Building, wrenching on, and riding Harley Davidson Evolution Sportsters, Big Twins, and anything else with two wheels. Currently working on restoring and preserving a 1988 Harley Davidson Sportster chopper. I also post information on other DIY projects I tinker on.

Picked up the Clymer Repair Manual for 1984-1999 Harley Davidson FLS/FXS Evolution. I already have the factory service manual.
I installed the Vance & Hines Fuelpak FP3 Fuel Management System on my 2014 Harley Davidson Street Glide. I am planning to do some upgrades on the Street Glide and I need to be able to tune the bike’s fuel injection system…
Yeah, I know this is not a Sportster but this is my next project. This 1992 Harley Davidson 80″ Evolution motor was replaced with a 96″ S&S motor in my 1992 Heritage Softail many years ago. It has been sitting on the…

There is always something… Everything is put back together. Thought we were ready to ride. Before we left for Biketoberfest I noticed a leak up front. Thought it might be fork oil but it was brake fluid. The front brake caliper was…
Installed a cheap tachometer on the 1990 Sportster. I’ll upgrade it to something nicer one day, or not. Really only installed it cause the wiring was already there and it was cheap.
The Sportster is a 1990, the same year I graduated from High School, which makes it well over 25 years old. In Virginia, since the bike is over 25 years old, it qualifies for antique license plates.
Had some issues with a lifter not lifting (another post on that later) and discovered the Cam gears were not timed correctly. Got everything fixed and put back together. She fired right up and was running great… then the oil light came…
Got a chance to open up the rear rocker box to replace the tappet guide and pushrod cover o-rings, adjust the pushrods, and replace the rocker box gaskets. Second verse same as the first (or front in this case).
