Harley-Davidson Softail description
This beautiful Heritage
Softail Classic was purchased new from our local Harley dealer (Bumpus Harley
Davidson in Jackson, Tennessee) by a friend of mine. I was with him the day he bought it and I rode
with him on my bike for many of the 23,008 miles currently on the bike. My friend rode Harleys over 40 years of his life and he took care of this bike completely, having it serviced either seasonally or per Harley-recommended service schedules, whichever came first. But, now he is no longer able to ride it and I have been asked to sell it for him.
Anyone considering this
model knows that the Heritage Softail Classic has the traditional old style Harley
look, with the leather bags, laced chrome wheels, and lots of chrome. The 2016 Heritage Softail Classic looks
almost identical to this 2008 year model.
The 2016 model lists for $17,349 according to the Harley website, and
that does not include the many pieces of extra chrome and enhancements on this
bike.
This 2008
Harley-Davidson FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic (FLSTC) has a six-speed
transmission and is powered by counter balanced 1584 cc (96 cubic inches)
V-Twin Cam 96B Engine. The
counterbalancing makes it idle smoothly without the hake and vibration found in
the most other Harley models. It is belt
driven and has a 5.0-gallon tank. The
empty weight of the bike is listed at 725 lbs.
This bike is in excellent
condition and it runs great. In the last
two weeks I took it to a local Harley certified mechanic and had it completely serviced,
with all fresh oil and fluids, and put on a new battery.
Both front and rear tire
appear to have between 75-90% of the wear left.
I have not checked to see if the paperwork on the tires is still
available, but I will do so and provide this to the buyer.
The windshield was
replaced a few years ago after the original one was inadvertently scratched
during cleaning. I have included a photo
of the windshield with this listing.
Both exhaust pipes show
signs of marring of the finish on both and are not perfect. This tends to occur as a result of the hot
surfaces coming into contact with cloth or something else that adheres to the
surface, and cleaning reduces the shine.
I had this occur to more than one Harley I have owned and I replaced the
chrome pieces involved. Changing these
exhaust pieces is relatively inexpensive and can be accomplished with little or
no mechanical expertise. These are the
only blemishes I found on the bike.
This bike is available for viewing
by appointment in Lexington, Tennessee. |

Harley-Davidson Invites Fan On Red Carpet At Captain America Premiere
Mon, 17 Mar 2014Harley-Davidson and Marvel surprised fans at the premiere of Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier in Hollywood, by inviting them onto the red carpet after it closed. Fans at the event were spontaneously selected to walk and experience the official red carpet and to check out a brand new Street 750 motorcycle along with the stars of the film, who autographed the bike for charity. The Winter Soldier star Chris Evans signs a new Harley-Davidson Street 750 at the premiere in Hollywood, CA. Following the premiere, Harley-Davidson will donate the bike to Concord Youth Theatre. In its continued partnership with Marvel Comics, Harley-Davidson had six motorcycles at the premiere along the red carpet, where fans took pictures and interacted with actor and musician, Tyler Posey, the official Harley-Davidson commentator and host.
Stephen King to Guest Star on ‘Sons of Anarchy’
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Stephen King will be making a guest appearance on the hit TV show, Sons of Anarchy, later tonight. King will play a character named “Bachman”, which I’m sure was no coincidence since he had published under the pen name “Richard Bachman” for several years. Stephen King is a motorcycle enthusiast and was excited to get a tricked-out, bright red Harley-Davidson Road-Glide to ride for the filming of the episode. See his comments about the production here.

Harley-Davidson World Ride Tops 10 Million Miles; Eclipses 2012 Total by 28 Percent
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Motorcycle riders from around the world enthusiastically joined members of the Harley Owners Group (HOG) on June 23 and 24 to shatter last year’s record mileage total for the Harley-Davidson World Ride by collectively logging more than 10 million miles, a 28 percent increase over the 2012 total. Launched in 2008 as HOG’s Million Mile Monday, the annual event was expanded into the two-day Harley-Davidson World Ride in 2012 to give more riders worldwide an opportunity to participate. In 2012, participants logged 7,799,140 miles, but this year as riders celebrated the 110th Anniversary of Harley-Davidson Motor Company and the 30th Anniversary of HOG that culminates this Labor Day weekend in Milwaukee, they blitzed that record by more than 25 percent, tallying an official total of 10,018,231 miles.
