Year:2000
Model: FLHRCI
Eng size: stock TC88
Transmission(5sp, 6sp etc): stock 5 spd
Pipes: Bassani trual dual with power curve
Seat: Harley-Davidson Sundowner
Wheels: Extreme Machine Spokes
Accessories: Wild One 8.5" mini apes, Cyclesmith banana boards front/rear, Radiantz led turn signals front/rear, Custom Dynamics led taillight, Dynojet power commander, Arlen Ness big sucker air intake, Rick Doss dash, Memphis Shades replacement windshield 2" shorter, flamed lower fender skirt & derby & points covers, skull air cleaner insert, Hot Toppers covers, HD diamondback clutch & throttle cables, Kuryakyn chrome neck cover, Arlen Ness mirrors/grips, EZ brake shifters, and swint lime green l.e.d.'s 14 pods.

And the story: I bought this bike brand new in 2000 with the factory color being Cobalt Blue. I added the lime green flames in 2005 with ghost flames included which you can see in the sun real good. I have changed almost everything to my liking but haven't touched the motor/transmission as of yet. It now has 74,500 miles on it and my next project is a detachable fairing this winter if funds allow, and possibly moving the license plate below the turn signals like the street glides are. I am pretty proud of it and hope you like it.

YR: 2007
Modela: FXSTD
Engine: 96B
Trans: 6 speed
Pipes: 99 model shotgun softail. Baffles cut out and shortened into slip-on's for that factory look with a tad more bite
Seat: Stock with optional shortie sissy bar
Wheels: stock
Acc/custom work: exhaust mod. $25 Lizard lights, Shortened/factory clutch/brake levers and polished. Quick release windshield and front tool bag with actual tools. Small bag mounted on back.

Ok here's the truth. G/F's bike but it's a serious relationship and being a tech I take care of the bike. She love to ride but is humble enough to climb on back. Says my tata's aren't big enough for me to ride on back. She knows her limits as far as saftey goes and stays in her comfort zones, so for long rides, night rides or if she wants a few drinks she let's me play chauffer. There is very little we're wanting to do to the bike because it's right just as HD made it and imo one of the better looking softails but just an opinion. Changed to sythetic oil in al 3 holes. Looking to add the easy brackets for the convienance of storage space when needed. Maybe a diff seat for longer ride comfort. Plan on changing out derby/ignition and a/c cover with chrome hd / flames
Anyway I think it's a nice ride. I'm sure she'd be stocked to see it as ride of the month

The Story: I bought this bike brand new in 2001. Needed to make a change in my life after loosing my sister to cancer. I had been into Drag Racing all of my life but got out of it due to the expense. I thought the HD would be a good replacement, and it has been. After my first summer of riding things started to get modified on the bike starting with the front end. This bike has been down to the frame tranny and the motor’s lower end. I have done all of the work myself except the paint. It currently has over 36000 miles on it and counting. It has been a great source of pleasure both in riding and modifying. A special thanks to all on the tech forum for helping me out during some on the motor mods. It has been on the dyno several times and will be again next month. 104 ft lbs of tq @ 3200 rpms.
