– 2006 Harley-Davidson FXSTS/I Springer Softail

There’s no mistaking what this one’s all about. A skinny tire on a Springer® front end. The Springer® Softail®. It’s a perfect balance of style and engineering. And believe us when we tell you it’s as fun to ride as it is to look at. This year, the biggest news is at the opposite end of the leading-link suspension. Beneath a new, widened bobtail fender sits a street-hungry 200mm tire that’s impossible to miss. There’s also a Badlander® seat, low-rise bar and wheel-to-wheel chrome. Plenty of looks with an equal serving of performance. You get a powerful, rigid-mounted, counterbalanced Twin Cam 88B™ engine. The rest is up to you and the endless miles of pavement that lie ahead.

OVERVIEW
FXSTS/I Springer® Softail® Model Overview
A new, wide bobtail fender covers a fat, 200mm rear tire that gives the FXST/I Softail Standard an imposing new attitude. It’s a long, raked custom look that inspires customization among Softail Standard owners. This is the elemental Softail, with simple styling and clean lines that make the FXST/I the ultimate starting point for personalization. A Chrome Aluminum Profile Laced front wheel and Forged Polished Aluminum Disc rear wheel are available as factory-installed options.
