Great bike, bought mine in 01, never been to the stealer once for anything. My ride sits in a tin shed all winter, starts every spring and travels everywhere, this year Alaska. If you want it buy it, I have nothing bad to say about mine. As you can see I changed my blank canvas bike to look unique to me.

I had a 97 Softail Custom, sold that for a 00 Fatboy, had to sell that 2 years ago and just came home 2 weeks ago with a new 05 Softail Standard. Love It! Michael

I have a 04 Softail Standard and like it very well. The only mod I needed to make and fast was the seat, maybe because it was new. I have installed a sundowner and like it very well. As you can see from my picture though I could not keep from adding more stuff!!

Bought me a 99' about 3 months ago. I love the bike and the wife hates the money I spend on it. But she says it looks good so I guess it offsets what I spend on it. I love the blank canvas, mine looked nothing loke it does now 3 months ago.

I bought a 2003 with 10k miles on it and I don't have any problems. Ask the seller if they have an up to date maintainence log or receipts. Mine came with all of them (including the sales receipt). Enjoy the ride!
