[edit] Reception

About the Evolution being a betrayal - is it as simple as the engine was easy to maintain, and therefore served the less mechanically-inclined? I thought some of the issue was also that it lost its maintainability. I'm thinking along the lines of the one-piece crank here. We don't seem to have any sources on this...maybe we should make a new section (suggest title "Reception") and cover the POVs on the controversy? – usigned edit by 152.121.16.7

This sounds like a great idea. The article is sourceless as of my writing, so any sources would be an improvement. It makes sense that improvements to make it more maintainable for novices may have also made the engine more expert-hostile than the Shovelhead. Culturally, however, there is definitely an element of the Evolution being "ruined cause it is too popular". –BozoTheScary 21:33, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
