SAD to say but I believe the springer is a thing of the past. Hold the one you have close.
If you want a 2013 Springer I think you gotta build it yourself.

P.S. People on ebay are asking over $3000 for used Springer front ends.

P.S.S. a 72 with apes and a springer would be sweet. Ain't happening unless you DIY.

I agree, it's makin me think I should have taken better care of mine than I have as far as cosmetics go. Mechanically it's as tight and sound as it could be and runs great and super dependable, but don't look all that good.

Guess if I ever decide to sell it I can dump some coin into paint and such but really don't anticipate selling it. With the mileage it has now I probably couldn't get **** for it anyway with all the low mileage ones that are out there.

Springers rock. I hope they never build one again, but they will. Nothing new, remove for a year or three and then bring back (at least as CVO) then remove, repeat.
I just love mine, totally ol' skool, rides great though.
Red wheels and fish tails, ya buddy!!

LOVED MY OLE 2005 SPRINGER!

Picture doesn't do it justice! Had the back lowered (not in this photo) and this sled just speaks old school!

Still one of my all time favorites!

Ride Safe,

YELLOWBIRD

Give and take folks. Unions can't get it through their thick skulls that you can't screw the company over until the end of time. They served their purpose. . .they have no reason for existence any more as there are labor laws now which protect almost as much as most unions. Don't like what the union is making you sign? Here's an idea. . .kick the union out. . .after all, you brought them in and voted to become unionized.


You forgot to mention the CEO's and the shareholders.
