2004 Harley-Davidson FXST/I Softail Standard

FXST/I Softail® Standard Model Overview
The Softail® Standard is classically and conservatively styled so owners can customize from mild to wild with Harley-Davidson® Genuine Parts & Accessories. Many have referred to the Softail® Standard as the perfect canvas on which customers can paint their most personalized bike. At its heart is the Twin Cam 88B™ ™engine, filled with smooth power. Underneath is the unique suspension, which provides the clean lines of a hardtail with the smooth ride of the Softail®. Classic laced wheels, a custom seat and wide handlebars on pull-back risers, give the Softail® Standard an authentic look that’s just the starting point for many owners.
