Harley-Davidson Softail description

Up for auction is a 1988 Harley-Davidson FXSTC Softail Custom. The mileage on this bike is 43025. This bike has been garage kept but not used for a few years. Fresh gas with stabilizer was added last season but I have not been able to get the bike started this season. My hunch is that the carburetor may need to be cleaned. I installed new spark plugs and the battery is about 6 months old and is currently on a trickle charger. The oil tank was replaced approximately 5 years ago. Here are a few issues that I’m aware of:  every year in the beginning of riding season, when starting the bike for the first time, I have to disconnect the crankcase breather tube from the air filter and connect a funnel because oil usually drips out – I hear that this is a known issue with Harleys. There is a crack in the right side mirror as shown in one of the pictures. Also, ever since I bought the bike the petcock used to turn on the gas is tight. These are all the issues I’m aware of.  I have the saddle bags and windshield.  I’m currently downsizing and moving in a few weeks and I can’t take the bike. The buyer will be responsible for pick up or shipping.  Feel free to ask questions.

Small-Displacement Class Considered for 2015 AMA Pro Racing Season

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

More and more manufacturers are entering the small-displacement sportbike market and AMA Pro Racing has taken notice, opening the possibility of adding a new racing class representing the growing segment. With plans to consolidate the Daytona Sportbike and Supersport classes and the Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson series signed through 2015, a spot will open up on race weekends for another racing class to support the premier Superbike Championship. The logical choice is to introduce a new small-displacement class.

Watch As Motorcyclist Gets Chased By Elk – Video

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Apparently, elks aren’t too keen on motorcyclists, as the video below demonstrates. This couple, aboard what sounds like a Harley-Davidson (that potato-potato exhaust note is unmistakeable), were riding along in Missoula, Montana when this elk decided he wanted to take the road for himself. As traffic slowed and eventually passed, the elk took a growing interest in the couple on the motorcycle, approaching them.
