Harley-Davidson FXST Softail Standard reviews

I purchased a 2017 Deluxe so I could get the last good model with a softer rider and proven workmanship. Love this bike, it is a great solo bike and with add ons, you can make it a touring bike. rode 5000 miles coast to coast in less than 11 days and enjoyed every minute of it, especially with a Corbin seat and back rest.

I saw the motorcycle on cycletrader.com, gave the owner a call and went to see the bike. It was incredibly clean. The paint and chrome were perfect. The miles were actually one thousand lower than the listing stated. The owner had done a great job of maintaining the bike. I went back the next day and bought it. I got a great deal and truly enjoy riding the bike. I will certainly use cycletrader.com in the future. Show less

Great bike! Previous owner must have shared the same vision for a “Cholo” style Softail as he/she had already added several aftermarket parts. It’s exactly what I was looking for and I love it. I have some plans of my own for the bike to add that personalized touch. Show less

The bike speaks for itself, Harley finally made inroads to a better riding and operating motorcycle. Reliability remains to be seen! I worked with Cody at Honda of Marysville in Ohio and was treated excellent. Cody is an excellent guy to work with. His knowledge and availability for fielding questions is spot on. All in all my experience was one of if not the best ever! Show less

Originally looking at the road king but I have a 29” inseam and was unable to place my feet flat on the ground. I didn’t have this problem with the heritage- it fit my build perfectly. I am 64 and find the heritage is much more manageable for me than the road king. I love the handling around town & on the highway & prefer the classic look over the other models. Show less

I purchased an extremely well maintained Harley with 10,000 miles from an individual in Texas. Looks new and rides like a dream. I paid less than dealer retail. Very smooth transaction all the way around. I hired a local motorcycle transport company in Houston (Marx Motorcycle Moving) to go to Dallas and pick it up and deliver it back to me. Show less

I have 175K miles on the bike all I have done is top end,rebuild the heads. If you can find a Evolution motor in s Harley 1985 was the first year and it has reasonable miledge on it and decent price buy it you can't go wrong and it is user serviceable unlike the later years of all computer controls. I would not have twin cam but if you do replace the timing belt with the gear driven kit. No belt on a Twin cam lasts more than 25 to 35k miles. Show less
