Love Springers. Did a festival in NE Texas last weekend and walked past at least 1500 Harleys and only counted 3 Softail Springers. I was specifically looking for any 2004 Softail Springers. In hind sight I would have preferred that model over my 2004 Deuce and I really like my Deuce.

Nice looking shadow as well. I've never seen a bike forward controls and folding floorboards. How did you like that set-up compared to highway pegs and conventional floorboard and controls.
they were real nice on the highway but got in the way around town.stock pegs sucked floorboards were better forward controls the best.
