With all the angst over the new line of Softails I thought I would share my collection of Softails which to me represent the best of the line.


97 Heritage Springer



07 FXSTC

97 Heritage Springer




2000 Deuce


2005.Deluxe




99 FX Springer




2016 Heritage Classic




The 97 showed up twice as Chrome crashed when I tried two pics in one post so I thought it would not do it. After I posted it showed up later.

Hope you enjoyed these bikes. No matter what they will never be sold or traded.

Thanks for sharing, beautiful scooters. I look forward to reading your posts and appreciate the feed back you often give. Can't wait to hear what you think of the new platform when you pick up a new one if you haven't yet.

At least for me, not going to happen...

I have two classic, actual softails..... the M8 isn't enough of an incentive for me to get one of the triangular swing arm, pseudo softail bikes....

Nice pictures and scoots...

...but to me, the Softail died with the introduction of the 2018 abortions.

...and really, the the line has been dead since 2011 without a Springer for me.

I'm not into baggers and tourers...I'll vote with my checkbook next time I buy a new bike...and it wont' be the Moco.

Default My 2015 Heritage Classic & 93 FXSTS

My 2015 Heritage is a pleasure to ride! The addition of the Mustang seat and an FP3 fuelpak made a world of difference. Love the nostalgic look of the bike!

Harley should be ashamed of themselves for desecrating the class of an iconic line of motorcycles.
