Isn't the Standard the new name for the custom other than the custom may have had more chrome on it right off the line? By the way, I hate that they call it the Standard. Makes it sound so dull. Once you get a lot of do-dads and chrome on it, it quits looking like "Standard". Then it turns into more of a custom don't it? When I talk to other people about there scoots, hey what do you ride, I've got a fatbay, or I've got a Road King, Or a Duece, then they ask me and I am almost embarassed to say the name Standard. I love the bike anyway, just wish Harley could have been a little more creative on the name choice.

The custom had the black engine too, which is why I chose the night train, now I just have to chrome everything to get the "custom" look.

The Softail Standard is a blank canvas to start customizing from.

The softail custom FXSTC had the black and chrome motor and a solid disc rear wheel (like the fatboy), a wide glide front end, mini apes a sissy bar with pad and a button tuck seat and chrome out the ying yang. It was replaced in the Harley lineup by the duece in 2000.
