1989 Harley-Davidson Softail

1989 Harley Davidson FXST Hardtail: these motorcycles have a rigid frame and NO rear suspension and hence rough on your bum! Softail: these motorcycles have rear wheel suspension and the wheel is held in place by a swingarm. Quite often, the suspension might be hidden beneath body panels. FXST stands for Standard Soft Tail Motorcycle which translates to easy on the bum! For consignment, a fully customized 1989 FXST that has been modified to give it a tad bit of a Steampunk look with some cherry wood panels, a vintage looking headlight with a star insert, Arlen Ness V-bar handlebars and hand built Du Val windscreen to name a few. Get your motor runnin, head out on the highway..lookin for adventure and whatever comes your way. Starting at the very beginning, (a very good place to start), we lead off with an all chrome Harley Davidson 21-inch front wheel with chromed axle end covers. It is framed by a black steel and cherry wood edged Arlen Ness front fender. It is held together and steered by custom covered stainless fork tube coverings with a hand built bracket to fasten into a bottom triple tree. On top is a headlight which is mounted into a hydro-glide aluminum housing that sports a tri star insert. Just below this headlight in the aluminum bezel is an orange bullet shaped vintage truck glass lens clearance lens. Above is a flaming eyeball which cozies up to the custom open book shaped Du Val tinted glass windscreen. Arlen Ness provides the V bar handlebars with all chromed controls and lathe turned wood handle bar covering on the ends. Even the mirrors have cherry accenting on the stalks. The master cylinder is chromed and has a wood top and a surfers cross 3D emblem attached top the front. Gnarly dude! As we look at the chromed visored speedo blackface gauge it is surrounded by more cherry on top of the tank. The tank sides are not to be outdone by the cherry emblazoned dash top and have more cherry inserts over the shiny black paint with the apt name of Harley Wood on their sides. The bike has custom forward foot controls all chrome with Kyriaken chrome and rubber pegs for the shift lever and brake pedal. The exhaust is gleaming Samson Long Cannons and it just roars when you fire it up. The 1337cc V-twin has many accented with chrome additions including but not limited to rocker box covers, timing cover, tappet block covers and large Arlen Ness billet pushrod covers. The carburetor is an Andrews 44mm adjustable jet carb. The motor uses Crane ignition, with stainless blue braided plug wires. There is a chrome vintage coil cover, chrome oil filter, a wedged chrome air cleaner and a special adapter for the bend carb. Interesting filler panels for the oil tank and the transmission which are black powder coated. All oil lines re covered with braided stainless. Bringing up the rear are more Arlen Ness creations in the form of a taildragger fender flanked by saddlebags courtesy a 1974 vintage bike. They too have the cherry accenting on either side with a cherry veneer latch system on top. There are adjustable rear shocks and rear tire. On the very back are dual vintage, (looking like a Ford model A), tail lights hanging off stalks on either side of the saddlebags. For the person who has everything here is truly a custom item you may want to add to the collection. Plenty of chrome, black paint and cherry wood and youll be living large n the highway and at the drive in turning heads. Ill leave you with this: Tell your daddy and your mama too You got something better to do Than stick around the house the rest of your life Youre eighteen you can do what you like Youll be the queen of my highway, my motorcycle mama And well see the world from my Harley ...If the chain dont break!
