– 2006 Harley-Davidson FLSTC/I Heritage Softail Classic

Throw a leg over a Heritage Softail® Classic, and just like that, you’ve bought yourself a one-way ticket to happier days. One look at the studded leather bags and you can’t help but grin. Beefy tires on optional Chrome Profile Laced wheels, graced by chrome-accented fenders. King-size detachable windshield. Low two-up seat with backrest. Giant chrome headlight and passing lamps. This is how the early dressers did it. Today’s version combines all this with the best of today’s technology. For example, the Classic gets a wrinkle black and chrome Twin Cam 88B® engine with smooth-riding dual counterbalancers. Fire one up and good feelings fill the soul.

OVERVIEW
