Buddy I used to ride with had a springer classic similar to the one you had the pleasure of lusting over. Best riding Harley ever. Something about that front end is magic.

Remove the motor home step ladder off the rear fender and ride the pig....

Damn, that's a fine looking lady!
Orange can be hit/miss but that looks right.

Does need a bitch seat though, no?

I wish. I don't need a third bike in the garage. The only option is to sell my FXSTC but I bought that one new and have a bundle of $ invested in it. Besides I love the thing even after 12 years of ownership.

It's actually red. iPhone color was off a bit. No bitch seat needed. I've got an Ultra for that.

I did little digging around on these in the last coupe days. There aren’t many for
sale and those that are, are comparably priced. Springers do tend to fetch a premium.

I strongly considered trading my FXSTC buying this thing but after some consideration decided it’s a foolish move. Here’s why.

The first thing I’d do is strip the luggage, luggage rack, bumper and windshield. Then I’d replace the seat and exhaust with some fishtails. After that I’d put some apes on the thing a chrome inner-primary and all the other blingy shit my Softail has. At this point I’d have what I’ currently have parked in the garage with a springer front end.

Also, while the Evo is bulletproof, it’s also an 80 CI engine. My FXSTC is a 96 CI Twin Cam and my bagger is a 103 Twin Cam. I *had* an 80 CI Evo. It was dog. I think the step down in power would drive me insane.

The whole reason I have a bar-hopper and a touring bike is to have two bikes with completely different setups and purposes. I don’t *want* all that shit (bags, windshields, racks) on my bar-hopper. Buying this bike then ripping all the shit off it would be stupid.

Out of curiosity, can you tell us what the bike sold for at auction, so we can get an idea of what the dealer is trying to make on it?

A friend just sold this one on FB Marketplace. It lingered for a long time on there. I know he dropped the price several thousand from his original asking amount. He last had it listed at $10.5. Not sure, if he cut it anymore than that and it went to FL.
