An Evo Softail built for 11,000 feet.
The story
The build
Most custom big twins are built for a photo and a parking lot. This one was built for Loveland Pass in October.
The motor is a 1996 Evo with a mild cam, rejetted for altitude, and an oil cooler that isn't decorative. The bags are removable. The seat is a two-up that a passenger can actually tolerate for an hour. It has a headlight you can see with.
We are aware none of that is exciting. Ride it to Sturgis and it will be.
