Default Got it back.

Early fall I traded my 07 FXSTC on a 010 Ultra Classic. I only traded it because my wife suggested that if I wanted a new one it had to go.

I checked at the dealer and they still had it. I talked to my wife and said that I really wanted the bike. She said " Why did you trade it then" We drove straight to Reiman's HD in Kewanee , Illinois ( the best dealer in the mid-west). I took her to dinner first of course.

The owner said he would let me have it back for the amount I traded for plus the 5K service that they did. I don't think many dealers would do that. I did have to get a new title and lic.

I will never let it go now. To me the FXSTC looks like a motorcycle should and is very comfortable ride.

This was in the AM when I went to trade.


You can see by the shadows that this was latter in the day when I returned with the Ultra.


The Softail is at the dealers as he will store it for me until better weather.

I went the other way. I traded an Ultra for a '07 FXSTC back in '06.

I totally agree with you, the FXSTC is what a bike should look like. I bought it for the styling. I damn sure didn't buy it for the engine. The 96B sucks as far as I'm concerned.

I miss the '95 Ultra sometimes in the cold weather but other than that I'm glad I traded.

Glad you got your ride back!
