2006 FLST(I) Heritage Softail Owners
Since we are one year produced bike owners I would like to know how many of us their are. Also are you still happy with your purchase or do you now wish you picked a different model and why.
I still love mine and would not change for anything.

RE: 2006 FLST(I) Heritage Softail Owners
I am very happy with the choice I made though I do have some complaints (is the MOCO listening?). The Softail shock design and swingarm design needs improvement. The shocks, with internal spring and forward openings, get dirt and moisture into the cylinder causing annoying squeaks. A very frequent cleaning and application of WD-40 (or similar) will temporarily resolve the issue. The swingarm has NO LUBRICATION POINTS! Dry bushings squeak! Again, hitting these points with WD-40 works, but wouldn't it be better to incorporate greasable zirt fittings into the swingarm? For the money spent, I think producing the bike with an enclosed air-ride suspension shock and sealed bearing or lubricatable bearing swingarm would be a HUGE improvement. Aftermarket shocks are available, but expensive. We should not have to shop the aftermarket to correct HD design deficiencies.

Only thing I disliked... well I should'nt say disliked, but not so impressed with was the sound from stock pipes, however it was always my intention to replace them with stage 1 and V & H straightshots which I did a couple of weeks ago. If I now do nothing else to the bike I will be happy cos it looks great and sounds ggrrreeeeaaat

I own a FLSTC no efi, and I love my bike so much. No complaints here.
Just put on the engine fins, new throtle grips, and the layback license plate holder.
Looks great.
The windshields need to be taller or shorter by about an inch or two-
