Default Something to keep the sporty company...

Well, I love my Nightster, ride the hell out of it, and really couldn't be more happy with it. A couple of months ago however, I sort of fell in love with a different bike and started casually looking around for a particular thing. Well, I finally found one and made the owner an offer that he accepted. I think I did pretty well and consider this to be one hell of an addition to my stable. Let me know what you guys think of her. 1996 FXSTSB Bad Boy.

Nice looking bike. I always have a warm spot in heart for FX springers.

You won't see many Bad Boys and that one is beautiful.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I know the Bad Boy is semi rare, and in fact this is the first one I've actually seen in person. The pictures really don't do it justice though, I've got to try to take some nicer ones.

Man I love the Bad Boy! A friend let me ride his once years ago and I fell in love with it. I've wanted one ever since. Nice find!

I have only ever seen one Bad Boy in personr and it was kinda beat. That is one sweet bike you have there. I am not much of a fan of the softailes older than 2007, but the Bad Boy is one older bike I would love to have.
