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!

Harley-Davidson Denies Plans for Small-Displacement Model for India

Fri, 18 May 2012

India’s 13-million-unit-per-year motorcycle market is comprised of mostly small-displacement models, so it sounds odd at first when manufacturers such as Harley-Davidson and Triumph enter the market with their larger-displacment models. The question quickly arises as to whether they will stick with their existing big-bore models or introduce an all-new, small-capacity model for the Indian market. Manufacturers like the Big Four from Japan already produce smaller models for other markets so it’s a relatively easy task for them to introduce new models such as Honda‘s recently launched 109cc Dream Yuga.
