Once you have the springer you will fall in love with it.

Take a look at the CVO's Springer Softail and then tell you didn't fall in love with it.

That would be a ride I would chase in a heartbeat if my finances were a little better. The Cross Bones is one awesome ride too.

Whatever the maintenance would be, it would be well worth it, and no burden greater than taking care of any other model.

Hi folks.
I might be "falling into" a deal to get a Springer Softail. This will be my first Harley. I currently ride a Kwacker, so Im kinda exited. My question is, how does the springer ride? Is there anykind of problems asociated with a springer I should be aware of? Do's/dont's?
How dificult would it be to swap out the springer for a regular front end if I didnt like it? Thanks for the coming help.
That Is All They Talk About Is The Springer ,, I Have A 03 Heritage But I Do Like The Springer
What Year Did You Get ??
