    This bike is as clean as a 1997 FLSTF can get. Low miles. The details are all there and yes it has everything including the EVO original motor. The bike started up on a cold start the first time. No leaks! Has a custom LaPara seat that the owner took to their factory to have a custom seat made since the owner has had 7 back surgeries. The seat is super comfortable. The owner has pictures of the bike at LaPara in Van Nuys California. The paint was done by Bob Moon it's a black with carbon fiber accents on the tank and fenders. In the sun it "Pops," really cool and classy. Temp and oil gauges have been added, 95% of all extra's are genuine Harley parts. 1st owner had the bike serviced meticulously maintained at the local Harley dealer. The 2nd owner has a senior Harley mechanic in his family and he is the only person who has touched this bike mechanically. The bike has been updated to the 2003 anniversary look and truthfully he nailed it. Solids were tossed for spokes wheels. Tires have less than 300 miles. The bike has 2 really cool features hardwired into the bike. 1st the genuine Harley Davidson Garage door opener that works off the light switch and 2nd a red/green light trigger sensor that will let the red light know to change to green so those long waits or running red light isn't necessary. Runs and sounds great. I promise you won't be disappointed on this ride!

    This motorcycle has been sitting in my garage for over a year. It belonged to my children's father who pass, ed away a week ago. He never rode it and he wasn't attached to it. I've ridden it way more than he did. Mike has passed away and I'm going to use the proceeds from the sale of the bill for Mike's burial.

I’ve owned 28 Harleys and this HS is definitely the best looking and a great ride. I regret trading it. I’m 74 years old and looking for another Heritage Springer , probably my last bike.

    After owning 3 Goldwings starting with the 1977 and ending with a 1996 model and Harley's of all persuasions (Shovels to Evo's), I can say without a doubt that this model is the most comfortable, dependable and best handling of the H-D line that I have owned. The rubber engine mounts really work well minimizing intrusive vibration. The Fuel Injection system has been flawless. My mileage varies from a low of 45 to a high of 57 on 92 octane Premium gas! The only complaint I can come up with is it does run a little hot. When in Seattle I did not notice it at all, Now down in the HEAT of northern California it is very noticeable on the 100+ degree days. *That and the BAD attitude of the dealers.... which is the worst part about owning a Harley. Would buy again without question. I wish they wheels had come with sealed bearings like the new HD's to today. The only other bike I would consider owning is the new R1150 RT BMW as I appreciate the technological updates and brakes available to them.
