Description

1999 Harley-Davidson Softail Standard. Chrome front forks. Custom black floating brake rotors. Fat chrome risers and handlebars. Electrics wired inside handlebars. Tachometer. Chrome switches. housing. and brake fluid reservoir. Round lollipop mirrors. Leather handgrips. Screaming Eagle heads. red head-block accent. Higher speed cam to match the heads. All chrome secondary and gearbox cover. Vance & Hines two into one exhaust with chrome in good condition. Wide rear tire kit and rear end lowered. Axle nuts covered with chrome caps in front and black shrouds in back. Rear side markers removed and replaced with custom billet license holder with embedded turn signals to give very sleek effect. Custom brake light that fills the fender above license holder. Extra lengthy front pegs for comfort. Two sets of rear foot pegs in case you have kids or a free-spirited lady. Leather Badlander seat plus the original. Pop-on rear sissy bar with luggage rack. Pop-on large front windshield with storage bag for touring. Police bike black air-filter cover to complete the theme of black. red. chrome and leather. Very minimal HD adversing and absolutely no "Live to Ride / Ride to Live" stuff. All in all. a very low key. but muscular looking bike. True story: Greg Allman once told me it was beautiful. Due to a mistake at the factory. the engine started to run rough at 30K. ABSOLUTELY EVERY moving part was replaced on their nickel. including the addition of the Screaming Eagle heads. So. effectively. 15K on the new engine (serial numbers still match). Despite the speed potential. I've never taken it above 90MPH. mostly because of the 21" front wheel and the fact that the mirrors vibrate so much that I'd never be able to see the cops behind me. The tachometer also keeps me honest. Yellow is bad. Red is worse. This engine has been babied. Paint is original and pretty damned good. The bike has always been garaged and never been dropped. This is truly the last hairy Harley. No rubber motor-mounts. No gas gauge either. That's what the reserve switch is for. New battery as of today's ride. Last year of the good-old carbureted 1340cc Evolution motor. and the last Harley of the 20th century. Original owner. who is currently looking for the user manual. I'm a semi-retired software engineer and have ridden it like a semi-retired software engineer since day one.
