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!

Confirmed: Next Harley-Davidson Sportster Will Use Revolution Max 975 Engine

Thu, 07 Apr 2022

The Nightster 975 has a certain ring to it We are less than a week away from the official reveal of Harley-Davidson‘s next Sportster, but we’ve managed to confirm the new model will use a 975 version of the Revolution Max engine. Harley-Davidson has been slowly revealing details of the new model, first with a teaser video and a number of social media posts. We’ve previously speculated that the new model will use a smaller displacement version of the Sportster S‘ Revolution Max 1250T engine, with clues such as the telescopic fork, twin rear shocks and single front disc hinting at a less performance-oriented focus.

2013 AIMExpo: Sumo-X – Video

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Harley-Davidson riders like to customize their rides and Sumo-X gives them some interesting storage and style options, which we saw at the 2013 American International Motorcycle Expo in Orlando, Fla. The Sumo-X Tour Pack offers an incredible amount of storage behind and around the seat for Harley dressers. It allows you to access two bags or whatever else you’d like to keep in its cavernous opening.
