Harley-Davidson Softail description

I’m the second owner of this absolutely stunning 1997 FLSTS.  The most unique part of this background is the custom factory paint that the owner was able to obtain.  The first owner was a high ranking executive with a national cosmetics company.  He knew the CEO of HD at the time he purchased the stock bike.  He contacted them to do a custom paint scheme that he knew he wanted.  They declined initially but decided to pull one guy off of the line to do the painting.  HD must have liked the color scheme so much that they did sell some of the same color tins in 1998 as special order limited edition ones.  These tins are not that, they were custom painted for the original owner.  He also sent the seat and front bag out to California to have the trim matched to the paint color.  There are no side bags with this bike.

Once he got the bike back he spent about $7K redoing the engine and other items on the bike.  Features a Mikuni carb that was dynoed to a max HP of 90.3 (paperwork included).  The bike has only 4,696 original miles on it and it’s absolutely beautiful.

Other features:

Lots of original HD nostalgia chrome pieces

Samson fishtail exhausts

Front and rear fender tips (original HD authentic)

Solo luggage rack and docking kit (original HD authentic)

HD toolbox

HD mini tach

Twisted spokes

Like new tires by HD (white wall engraved)

All original paperwork and service records

This isn’t an inexpensive bike and it’s only for the true collector who can appreciate its beauty and uniqueness.  Please email me via ebay with any questions you may have.  Good luck!

The TwinTrax Is A Machine Straight From Mad Max

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Just look at this motorcycle for a moment. A creation of the German Motorcycle Authority, the TwinTrax is nearly 107 inches long, weighs 882 pounds, and took owner/builder Christoph Madaus 12 years to complete. Oh, and don’t forget the two Harley-Davidson V-Twins powering this thing.

AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike Riders Gearing Up For Road America

Thu, 29 May 2014

The AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike class makes its much-anticipated return to Road America this weekend. The four-mile Wisconsin circuit is a particularly exciting place to watch the middleweight bikes because its long straights and braking zones make passing and lead changes commonplace. More than just a test of man and machine, the races often develop into a strategic battle leading up to the all-important last lap and run up the hill to the checkered flag.
