Harley-Davidson Softail Custom reviews

This was my first bike purchased after a 17 year hiatus. Harley produced a really solid and equally fun motorcycle this year. Previous owner of my bike had installed 16" Ape hangers and they kept moving around after a few miles of riding. Found out the riser was stripped and needed a new one. Once replaced, I put more miles on my bike and enjoyed every mile. This bike handles better then I expected. Hugs the curves and really gets going with the 103ci V-Twin. The one thing I love about this bike the most, how easy it is to wrench on. Did my own primary and transmission service and these were easier then I had expected. The fit and finish of the parts are high quality and Harley takes the time to finesse where needed. Hence, they've been around for almost 120 years and still going strong. Definitely recommend a Softail Slim FLS to anyone wanting a solid, reliable, and fun ride. Show less

Harley produced the Deuce from 1999 to 2005. It remains one of their better designs with features that some of the top customizers use by choice, such as the front forks. Its tank, rear fender, tons of chrome and stance keep it current with all other models on the road today. As there are fewer of them, their unique modern design is still in fashion and popular.

This motorcycle is such a beauty. I ordered it as soon as it came on the market, waited for it, and never felt anything but excited about this bike. It's incredibly comfortable, and you can ride long days on the road without feeling fatigued when you get home. What I enjoyed most was customizing the few items I felt it needed (pipes, handlebars, grips, pegs, foot controls, mirrors. Plus, the fuel valve, gas gauge, and cap). It was a lot of fun shopping online, in the Harley store, and at different bike shops picking out all the perfect pieces to add. It came together beautifully. It shines, and the sound of the pipes is the most incredible in the world. It draws a lot of attention, and I love meeting new people. Sharing stories and making new friends while cruising around is almost as fun as riding. The only thing I didn't like was the solid back wheel, but I like the back tire's size a lot! This bike handles curves beautifully and accelerates up hills quickly. It's so much fun to ride! I recommend this motorcycle for its power and comfort and because it's unique from other Harley's. Everyone always has similar-looking Harley's, but the Deuce is special. Show less

My 2012 Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) Softail Convertible is the best Harley Davidson I've ever had. I always wanted a CVO bike, and when I saw this bike NEW in the showroom, it was love at first site. I liked the fact that I could ride it solo, or I could put on the detachable locking leather saddlebags, the detachable passenger seat, the detachable sissy bar, and the detachable windshield/fairing, and ride anywhere with it. With the plug and play navigation system and MP3 player, I always had the songs with me that I wanted to listen to. One of the best additions I added were the Vance and Hines Big Radius pipes, and the Dyno-tune. There is nothing that sounds as good as these pipes going through the gears. The other great addition I made was adding 7 color LED lights that looks so amazing at night. The colors can be individual, or they will move from one color into another. The chrome on this bike looks outrageous with these lights on. I am the original owner, and the bike has always been covered and garage kept, and with only 10,700 miles on it, the bike is in like new condition; it's flawless. The only reason I am selling it is because I am older and not riding it much. Come and take a look at my Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) Softail Convertible, you won't be disappointed! Show less

I received this bike for Father’s Day from my grandson’s other grandfather. He didn’t ride anymore and he knew I’d always wanted a Harley. He called and said, “Come and pick up your Harley. Happy Father’s Day. He’d bought it new for $19995 in 2000 and ridden it just 2800 miles. He kept it garaged (an air conditioned garage). He told me to pick up a battery in the way. He hadn’t started it in a while because the battery was dead (apparently they don’t last 22 years). We dropped in the new battery and by the third crank that baby started right up. I dropped it off at an independent Harley / Chopper shop for a once over, change the 22 year old oil/tranny/primary fluids, and put on new tires. It’s like the bike had been in stasis for two decades. Runs like new. Show less

Seems these guys don’t know anything about the bikes there selling I called and ask how many owners the bike has and they can’t answer that simple question so I asked for a manager then they hung up on me Show less

I love this motorcycle and hate to sell it. I’m 75 years old, had a mild stroke a couple years ago so don’t have the confidence in myself to ride. It is a highly unique factory customer bike. I honestly have not seen an identical bike ever. She looks like new and rides like a dream. I added a Chrome tachometer, and Thunder-blaster pipes and more. The final year for the Evolution engine. My personal taste was to take off the passenger seat, but I kept the parts if you want the more traditional Heritage Softail look. Show less

I've had this bike a few years now and I truly love her, she is a great all around bike. You can run to the store to pick up something for dinner, use her as a computer, cruise her to bike night, or just take off for a few days and go ghost. She's like the Swiss Army Knife of motorcycles. And you'll hear "get a real bike" usually from a bagger bro. But let's be honest. How many motorcycle models can claim the honor of being in constant production sense 1957. That says a lot about the loyalty to the Sportster line. I'm not a stone Harley owner, I also own a 73 Honda chopper. So I don't bleed black and orange, but for what I want her to do (witch is pretty much everything) she does it willingly. So don't let the name Sportster discourage you, will be pleasantly surprised. Show less
