Harley-Davidson Touring description

1983 FLHT with a 2006 street glide fairing. this bike was totally re-done a couple of years ago and painted by Dave Perewitz. R&R Cycles did the engine work. Boomer McCloud installed the stereo. Goodhues did the powdercoating on this bike.
this bike has a rubber mounted drive train and a 5 speed transmission. it has been geared for running at highway speeds, but still is plenty quick around town. the head pipes are Hooker true duals with straight fishtails. nothing sounds as good as a shovelhead with fishtails !
this FLHT has been fitted with bagger style ape hangers which are very comfortable. the stereo sounds awesome and is easy to hear at medium volumes ..... even at highway speeds with the straight fishtails singing. a Clockworks windshield tops off the fairing.
this bike has been slightly lowered with suspension changes. it handles  well but is a little stiff because of this change. the corbin seat lowers the rider even more. there is a stick on phantom pad included for passenger use. i have been leaving it on the fender, as i like the look of the bike with it attatched . there are red LED lights installed to highlight the engine and other chrome when parked at night. a new battery was installed in august. the tires are dunlop whitewalls with the harley script on them. there is 75% tread left on them.
the odometer shows about 1900 miles since this bike was reworked.
i have tried to include as many descriptive pics as i could. i will add some with the red accent lighting if i can.
this bike is in outstanding condition. i have ridden it for about 800 miles and have addressed some of the issues it had when i got it. i took possession of this bike as a favor and now it is time for it to go.
interesting trades entertained

Stuck for a gift? Solution No2: Harley-Davidson merchandise

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Next year marks a strange anniversary for Harley-Davidson; 100 years of the firm's merchandising operation. Yes, just nine years after getting in on the motorcycle game H-D realised that the real cash was to be found in selling accessories rather than just bikes. And they're masters of the art.

Harley-Davisdon Claims US Market Share Lead for Women, Minorities and Young Adults

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

For some time now, Harley-Davidson has been trying to fight the stereotyped image of its customer base as being predominantly older, Caucasian males. Harley-Davidson‘s Stereotypical Harley campaign became a big part of the company’s advertising efforts in 2012, featuring real Harley-Davidson owners and showcasing the large diversity of its riders. Fighting against preconceptions can be difficult but Harley-Davidson has some numbers to prove its motorcycles are popular with other demographics including young adults, women and minorities.
