RE: Softail custom

I looked at one yesturday. Although it is an awsome looking bike, I'm not a fan of the "pillow" seat look. I would change that once there are some good aftermarket ones. It still gets a 10 out of 10 in my book.

RE: Softail custom

I don't care for that look at all, but for the guy who wants to build an FX Softail with a black/chrome engine package that's not a Deuce, it's the perfect bike.

Dump the fugly seat/sissy, and add a set of drag bars, and you've got something started..
JMO ofcourse.

RE: Softail custom

Funny, my cousin has a 1995 custom with a set of drag bars. Custom paint, 2 into 1 exhaust original seat, but a custom leather-stich job. 32,000 miles on the clock, and runs like new !

RE: Softail custom

I rode one last Sunday at my dealer's demo days exhibit. It was very nice. Six speeds, 110 cubic inche engine, very nice. I didn't trade away my fat boy for it, but I was very impressed. I'd get it if it were up to me.
