Harley Parts and Tools for Evolution Refresh Project

Before starting work on our 1988 Harley-Davidson Evolution Softail, Mike takes the time to review the Harley parts order that he made through the Dennis Kirk website. The work to be performed on this Softail will be nothing short of a partial restoration. There is a considerable number of Harley parts that will be needed in order to address the 35 plus maintenance and repairs that will be performed as Mike moves through this Harley-Davidson Evolution. The Dennis Kirk website makes ordering Harley parts easy.

Searching for parts and finding options for various parts is simple because they make navigating the website effortless. When you are on the Dennis Kirk home page, you will see options for:
RIDE TYPE

• ATV
• Dirt Bike
• Motorcycle
• UTV

Then, choose MAKE. Obviously, Harley-Davidson for us.
Followed by YEAR: 1988
Options are from the most current year, all the way back to 1929.
And finally, you will have the opportunity to choose your specific MODEL. Heritage Softail

After you have set up the search for your year & model Harley Davidson, you can simply search for anything that you may need for your bike.
