Default Springer Softtail
So this weekend I helped my son move from MD to St Petersburg Fla. This bike was sitting under a carport at his new place. Looks like it has not moved in quite a while. Anybody know what year this might be? Appeared to be pretty much original to me.

Looks like a EVO 80" motor. Maybe a late 1980's FXST.

It is an 88-92. I believe 1993 on up they redesigned the front fender to be lower.
Grab the VIN on the frame and you will know for sure.

That is a factory 88-92 springer front end...check VIN number to see if it was a springer originaly...simple bolt on for any softail.
