The seller offers for sale this 1988 Harley-Davidson FXST, powered by a 1,340 cc V-twin Evolution engine. This FXST has been given an extensive custom treatment and stands out as a striking, individually styled Softail. The bodywork is finished in a deep candy red with dark flame graphics flowing across the tank and rear fender, complemented by a wealth of polished chrome across the engine, forks, wheels and fittings. A custom diamond-stitched seat, matching backrest and a studded leather saddlebag add to the bike’s bobber-inspired stance, while the tall handlebars, spoked chrome wheels and chromed S&S engine covers reinforce its purposeful, hand-built look. The odometer indicates 9,999 km. Presented in good condition, the motorcycle combines the classic hardtail-style silhouette of the Softail with a long list of personal touches that give it real presence on the road.
The FXST Softail holds an important place in Harley-Davidson’s history as the model that brought the Softail concept to the range, pairing a clean, hardtail-look rear end with concealed rear suspension for a classic appearance without sacrificing ride comfort. Power comes from the 1,340 cc Evolution V-twin, the air-cooled, 45-degree engine widely credited with revitalising Harley-Davidson during the 1980s and prized for its characterful delivery and its rugged, dependable design. The slender FX-style front end gave the Softail its lean profile and helped establish the silhouette that countless custom builders have drawn on ever since. Late-1980s Evolution Softails are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts who value the combination of timeless styling, the unmistakable feel of the Evo engine and the model’s role as a cornerstone of the modern Harley-Davidson cruiser line.
