I purchased this 1988 Electra-Glide Sport new from Columbia Motorcycle company in Vancouver, Washington of that year.
Since then, I have ridden & maintained it for approximately 40,000 miles of mixed city/hwy rding; with svereal long rides to Sturgis South Dakota.
Mechanically the motor has been reliable as a "pet rock" and has never given me one bit of trouble. Albeit, I did have to replace an alternator that was "fried´ by a mal-functioning regulator.
Also, in search of better performance, I installed a 40 MM Mikuni Carb, Andrews EV-13 Cam, S & S adjustable pushrods, High-flow aircleaner, Accel High-performance Coil & plug leads together with a pair of Kerker-built, glass-pack
mufflers (tuned for mellow sound).
The bikes power is noticeable stronger than stock and will accelerate strongly from 50 MPH in 5th to 90MPH in serious roll-on power! A top speed (observed) of
approximately 107 MPH with windshield & bags installed/rider sitting upright has been attained.
