Cool-Motorcycle reviews Harley-Davidson FXSTC Softail Custom 2008

Harley-Davidson-FXSTC-Custom-2008_1

Picture yourself riding down the highway with a wide, raked front end, a big king/queen seat, and not a care in the world.
Chrome, a laced 21″ front wheel. Fat Bob tank that’s been painted, polished and finished in distinguished nostalgic detail. Fists riding in the wind on a factory ape-hanger handlebar.

Twin hidden shocks to cushion any ride. You’ve got enough heart in the counterbalanced black and chrome V-Twin to ride all day, thanks to 96 cubic inches and a six-speed Cruise Drive. And enough comfort in that big seat to keep your passenger more than content no matter how endless the trip.
