Favorite Harley

My First One.

My favorite harley, is my first one. A early '77 super glide.I rebuilt the engine and had everything powder coated black.like the nighttrain, but I did mine before the nighttrain came out.since then i've owned a '97 1200 XL,a '82 FXR and now a '75 super glide.I still miss my 'early '77.

My favorite has to be the Bad Boy, it looked great right off the floor.

Factory stock for me is either the Softail Deuce, or Fat Boy.

My fav.is my 04'FXST-SE 103"CNC ported and pullin'125hp/130 on the torque,11.5:1 comp,SE-257Camshaft,SE-CV44mm Carb. It does everthing I look for in a Harley,and I've dusted every crotch rocket that's challenged me. I don't think they realize that my bike isn't the standard 88" stock.

I take it you haven't raced any NEW generation sportbikes. Even with that much power your not going to get under the 11's in the 1/4 and most new litre bikes are mid 9's to high 10's stock. Go find a ZX10 to race, 180HP 300 some pounds, you do the math.

10.41 @136mph in 1320 ft, class 2a at the N.S. race track near my area. Just four days ago I raced a guy who has an 01' VTR1000 SP-1,had'em by two lengths. It just could be they don't want to test the limits of their ride,don't know. I just know the outcome. Normally Harley's and C-Rockets don't go head to head where we race. It's just in challenge races afterward.

I love it when a Harley thumps up on a c rocket. Hey MFFM, my 00 FXST looks about like yours, don't do any 10.4 quarters though, I'm gonna try to get a pic up soon.

Would love to see a pic. My hi performance shop helps me out quite a bit with great parts,cheap and the tuning,and I install dampners on the right and left side of my forks to help with the steering when I do race,otherwise the front end can get away from me with that 33.5deg. rake .It's all just a lot of fun for everone to do this in our spare time.

bought my first harley in may.a 2003 fatboy anniversary model.wasnt goin for speed just somethin that shines like a mutha,and looks good with me and my hot little wife on the back.what a joy to ride here in michigan when the weather is predictable.

I'm happy to see someboy else with a Softail Standard and loving it!
For me, it's the cheap way to get all of the benefits of the Big Dressers and Baggers without the price.
The Standard shares the same basic Motor/Suspension/Frame as the Heritage Classic, but is much cheaper. (The black oil tank sets us apart!) So many opportunities abound with the Standard. Add a little chrome and exhaust...The Standard is the customizers dream. A good solid base to start on! My 2003 FXST is coming along nicely, I have lots of added chrome, but proudly display my black oil tank!

Ultra Classic all the way. theres nothing like a nice long comfortable ride for the ole bones hehe!

Gotta say either the FXDS for cruisin', or the Street Rod for the curves.

So far, my favorite is my '05 1200 Custom. Stage 1, 12" apes, mustang seat, detatch ss windshield, assorted bling. Can ride all day whether its superslab or twisty backroads.

V-Rod NightTrain

I guess mine would be the one I own now, the 2006 Low Rider in Red/Black, although I really liked my black 1976 FXE Superglide.

Hi,
Just wanted to ask a question. What's everyone's favorite Harley? You don't have to own one. I'll start, of course i have to say my Sportster because it is such a blast to ride but for overall looks it's a Softail Standard. The way it sits down low and the raked front end is awesome.
