1999 Harley-davidson Softail on 2040-motos

The Evolution engine is known as Harley's best and most reliable powerplant. 1999 is the last year of the Evo, and I think it was available only in the Softail that year.

Custom paint from D. Strader Studios looks gorgeous and glossy. It's a one-of-a-kind work by a truly talented artist. There is airbrushed smoke detail in the flames if you look closely.

Bike also comes with a large quick-release windshield in excellent condition (not pictured).

Factory blonde powdercoat on the cylinders makes for easy cleaning (no chrome to clean or black powdercoat to fade).

Extras include S&S Super E Carb, forward controls, drag pipes, Pingel fuel petcock and various chrome dress up bits.

Starts, idles, runs, stops and turns excellent. Dunlop tires have lots of tread left.

I know what it is like to buy a bike or car and find undisclosed flaws after purchase; I would never do that to anybody. I believe that the Willie G skull emblem on the left fuel tank is covering a paint blemish from the previous owner. I see some paint chipped at the edge of the emblem. It's not visible unless you get your eye below the emblem and look up, but I want to disclose it in case you want to remove that emblem.

There is a small scratch in the paint just behind the passenger seat – see the pic with my finger pointing to it. There are no other paint blemishes that I can find. There are no swirls and it has a deep clearcoat gloss. As for the chrome, there is some pitting in two areas of the chrome covers as you can see in the close-up pics. The rest of the chrome looks great.

Mechanically, I can't find any flaws. The battery was beginning to weaken and spin the starter slowly sometimes. I'm a bit obsessive about maintenance. So, I had the battery and entire charging system replaced to avoid any future problems.

Replaced on 7/1/16:

• Stator

• Voltage regulator

• Battery

• Primary chain tensioner changed to Hayden Enterprises automatic tensioner system to eliminate the need to check tension in the future

All maintenance is done and it is ready to ride. I took it for a 260 mile ride on 7/2/16 and it has been on a battery tender in the garage under a cover since then, waiting for the lucky new owner. I would feel comfortable riding it cross-country tomorrow. Selling due to need room and it's a pain to maneuver all the bikes in the garage now that I've added a new Electra Glide to my collection.

Clean and clear FL title in my name in hand. Payment by cash or cashier's check only. No lowballs, I'm not desperate and it's already priced to sell. Your winning offer will start with a 5.
