Too stupid to post photos of my 96' fxsts. Just got it this spring. WAAAAAYYYYY lovin' it. Mostly stock. Going to attempt to switch rear tire,( metzler 880 WWW) tommorrow. Anyhow, there's a couple very low milage springers (like 2,500) on c.list rochester ny. if anyone's looking. $ might be a little high? BTW, love this thread.
Just got my Springer back. Bought it new in '03 then gave it to my Dad in '04. Unfortunately he recently passed and I have my bike back. I will be riding to Sturgis next August to spread his ashes at a few spots out there. In the mean time I want to change a couple things. The Hallcraft spokes cracked on the rear and will need to do something about wheels. Looking to keep it clean and classy so ideas would be appreciated.

Welcome to HD forums!
Sorry for you loss, but congrats on getting the Springer back.
Really like those '03 Heritage Springers.
As for wheels and other add-on's, I agree on keeping it classy. I'd put OEM or fat spokes on it. The 21" front is a nice touch too and can be pulled off to still maintain a stock'ish look.
