Want to be a very modern Milwaukee V-twin, but long for the look of simple lines of a simple era? Something with a classic biker look? Something truly unique? Well, no farther than ’96 FXSTS Springer Softail, re-creation of the modern view of the 1940′s high tariffs. Clean style, classic, with some new improvements for model year 1996.

All Softail models feature electronic speedometers this year, along with a new, even taking the flasher module, which contains an integral sealed connector. This, coupled with the new surface mount technology, results in a smaller size and increased durability. Softails on the new one piece instrument console and round-ignition is now standard.
But it’s relaxed ergonomics really interesting this Softail. Retro-look chrome springer front-end, high bar, bulb-shaped, and the journey long and low. A reminder of the past few decades.
On the street is the feel of a classic Harley Springer Softail. Its solid-mounted 1340cc Evo engine is smooth running one of the Harley V-Twin made on the side-mounted iso FLH models found. Although the engine rumbles in typical Harley fashion, vibration only becomes intrusive above 65-70 mph, where handlebar grips and foot pegs provide annoying buzz. Below this speed, but drive a nice jumper. After heating, the radiation is dead right on the Keihin CV carburetor. Roll on the throttle 35 mph in top gear, and FXSTS will accelerate smoothly and evenly, without a strong protest with the drag torque of the real world. PS not a monster, Springer perfect for around town or down the path of two-beautiful.
Handling is surprisingly easy, Softail disguising its weight of 625 pounds as well. Until you are the pegs are mounted near the front is used for, can be a bit awkward at low speeds, but once you get wrestling, that’s good. Narrow sense, the jumpers are flicked into turns with ease compared to their non-sporting intentions. Limited suspension travel with the companies and help the hard way attenuation connected crouched low on the chassis, but this gives a harsh ride on rough surfaces, especially on disrupt highway expansion joints. Total trip is good, for a smooth road, and traveling long distances.
Even if the jumper is look and retro styling are some of the shortcomings that have inhibited the Milwaukee brand image in the past, slowly modernized. Action clutch, for example, far more than previously leviathan Harley clutches improved, the effort required is reasonable, is not exceeded, smooth engagement. New high-contact transmission gear teeth provide smooth operation, quieter, so they click into first gear instead of Clunk you’re used to. And low brake aware of the past have been eliminated.
With 91 years building a legacy of Harley, ’96 Softail Springer is a motorcycle, a beautiful well-skilled and entertaining. With a view that has long inspired the custom-bike culture. Created to benefit cruise at 50 miles per hour on the road, open smooth, torque-rich power. You’ve got a very bad day, but the feeling when you come home nice – as you ride this bike.

1997 Harley Davidson Heritage Springer Softail – Motorbike Bicycle
1997 Harley Davidson Heritage Springer Softail
Read more »
Once upon a time when our GIs home from the Second World War, they realize that motorcycles are available to them for the big time, the lush and beautiful. They are also big, heavy and slow – Bicycle built for respectable parents, instead of twenty-something rebels. Hell of war, it is time to cut too much, have fun and cool. Big fat bike was definitely not cool.
Spesification :
Manufacturer : Harley-Davidson
Model : 1997 FLSTS
Price : $16,995
Engine : V-twin OHV Evolution
Bore and Stroke : 3.498 x 4.250 in.
Displacement : 1340cc
Carburetion : 40mm Constant Velocity
Transmission : 5-speed constant mesh
Wheelbase : 63.07 in.
Seat Height : 25.75 in.
Fuel Capacity : 4.2 gal. incl .4 reserve
Claimed Dry Weight : 690 lbs.
Because the right bike is not available, these brave GIs who decide to create your own. They start cutting things off, it, big motorcycles and heavy. Things like heavy fenders, bags, and even front brakes. They call this bike “helicopter”. And they cut the bike look a lot like something from the 1997 FLSTS, aka Heritage Softail Springer.
Major sports, full metal fender skirts, fringe-laden pockets and springer front end of a classic, this wheel comes straight from 1948 – Panhead the first year and last to the factory set-up jumper. Like the original, built from 1997-HD version for a respectable parents. The kind that just happens to be a large percentage of new Harley buyers.
In recreating the past, to see the Motor Company to the smallest detail, but also has attracted a pair of bold-colored glasses. In rare cases the original can not be compared with saline. In fact, if you really examine the old Panhead, through how they look fragile than surprising.
They are certainly reliable bikes for their time, but in the time when cost is a problem and not all images were born. Instead, everything in FLSTS heavy duty, designed for beauty and chromed to within an inch of his life. During the open wire, untreated metal parts and, of course, that the saddle sprung floating 10 inches above the frame.
The ’97 Heritage Springer is an impressive looking machine. A breakdown of the bike. It benefits from the fact that it was designed in an era where the cost is basically not a problem for bikes with HD logo. The original Pan does not have that luxury. For example, after two fender looking for the best draft ever beat the good people at Harley design department saw a front marker lights and rear running light cartoons, making fenders just that much more impressive.
Other details of the horn. Prominently displayed in front, at the end of the flap, this is a brilliant representation of the original. And it works great. Nice and loud, and instead of pointing straight down into the left boot. What’s so bad about the bike that looks like a Heritage Softail with new fenders and front grafted on a springer? Well, springer forks, which was designed in 1988 after the slender 21-inch tires.
Bicycle nostalgia demanding 16-inch fat tires. The creation of these proved to be a little more complicated than simply as an extension of the existing setup jumper. Extra heavy 16-inch tires need to be changed geometry (ie rake & trail). HP engineers to the task, though, and develop a new front-end, modern rock solid at speed on the highway. Also in Montana.
