I bought mine new in 1990. $9,900 out the door. I promised myself it would last the rest of my life, and so far it has!

Amazing the cost increase for the new tech nowadays, but it does look nice...

It's about time, as not everyone wants the 'Bells & Whistles' some just want a motorcycle. If I had the money $$$ I'd make it into a trike. :clapping:

John Maxwell assembled 1 & took it for a ride

Hey Jack,

I saw that the other day. Smart move on their part.

I think it would make an awesome trike with the right conversion, now I need the right lottery numbers . Saving $250.00 each month from my Social Security isn't going to happen. Now this works for me :clapping:.

My 97 FLHT was my second favorite bike

Number 1 was a 92 FLHS I bought new and rode home in MN in Feruary, I think it was like 15 degrees that morning BRRRRR

This bike evolved into the Road King. My son starting riding with me on this bike. He was 5 years old, his feet could not reach the floor boards so he rested them on the crash bar I put 58K miles on that bike with NO problems other than a front rocker box oil leak

 

[MDO]

It does have cruise standard & that all you need to eat up those highway miles. John Maxwell said there was no buffeting at all behind the fairing and the windshield was a good height. I like that it's not twin cooled and very simplistic. I don't like that it's a solo seat and no passenger pegs, but I know most buy there own seat anyway.

Jack, that's a beautiful bike!

Great looking conversion. Is that one that Zook did?

Wish I could help with the lotto #'s.

Those were the days man. Lots of nice stuff on today's bikes, but there's something about the simpler times/bikes.

Sounds like some great memories made for you and your son on that ride!

That was the time I wanted a Herritage ,but there was a shortage. So I settled on the FLHS. Thank goodness for the shortage , as the heritages were buzz boxes !

My 91 was $10300.00 . Got 85k miles , with one motor rebuild camed out and balanced. I also put the batwing on to convert it to a dresser with bullhorn bars. It’s been 3 yrs sittin since the Tri arrived, but she is on the lift ready to be resurrected.

Yes ,being it’s my first new HD , we had a lot of sweet road trips together, with out any faults. Another reason to get her back on the road :clapping:

1996 FLHT

My 1996 FLHT, bought her new in Feb of '96. After the initial 500 mile service we added the sidecar. she's been a great bike, very smooth and comfortable, much more so than my twin cam... my kids grew up on that bike, my oldest still asks to go for a ride...

I looked at the new one at the dealership, I hope someone buys her and makes many memories as I have with my family on that bike.

Stunningly beautiful

New guy here, just doing my due diligence about trikes. But this is absolutely stunning .

I want this , but am concerned about the rear suspension not being independent , and of course the cost .

Have some serious back problems ( surgery helped a little)

From what I have read so far the Harley rides real stiff .

 

[trike lady]

The fancy orange one has independent suspension. :clapping:

FLHS

I purchased my 1988 FLHS, I believe in Oct. 1987, for $10,400, it’s still in our garage

with 276,454 miles on it (orig. engine rebuilt twice). Both Wife/I have HD trikes now

but STILL LOVE riding that ‘88, it’s a great, smooth ride.

YES, simpler times were GREAT.

For a guy like me that buys a bike and spends the first two months "making it mine" ... bare bones is nice ... if it catches on ... might be a trike option too. Just dreaming.
