Been on a mission to select a Harley. As far as model, primary mission/purpose, or even maintenance requirements - I am all 'good' (and a decent mechanic with a metal mill). Did enough research. Buying based on what excites me - nothing more at this point. Strengths and limitations of various models pose no obstacle. A Softy will satisfy

But which one??? Here's two that I would try to pick up this week. While they may be worlds apart, I am stuck on the fence. I want people/riders 'in-the-know' to go 'oooh, ahhh' just as much as I do. Call me shallow...

Both 2003. FB has 12K miles, fxsts has 27K. fxsts about $1500 more - guessing (negligible as far as I am concerned).






Also, if you can make either even better, what would you do to it?? [bars, seats, flr boards, exhaust, lights, PAINT...]

Thanks everyone!

 

I love Softails, that being said, buy both.

 

If it were my money, the fxsts. While i like the springer front end, the color and bars would have to go on it

 

Springer.
Needs a ol school 80 spoke in the front tho..IMO

 

I like the Fat Boy

Good luck finding the one best for you!

 

Springer... nuff said

 

change the two tone colors on the first bike, i would buy that one.

not a fan of ape hangers.

both are nice though.

 

This is a no brainer..Get the springer and give these guys a call and have some fun with it. I'd love to have that bike.

The Springer. Then change those ridiculous handlebars.

 

I like the springer, but I'd ditch the apes.
