πŸŽ’

Tool-free bags and windshield

The "Convertible" name comes from leather saddlebags and a windshield that detach in seconds without tools, letting you switch from light tourer to clean cruiser β€” a genuinely unique feature no other Softail offered, so check that the latches, docking points and all original hardware are present since replacements are pricey and often missing on used bikes.

πŸ”§

Watch heat and compensator

The Screamin' Eagle 110 (Twin Cam 110B, counterbalanced in the Softail frame) runs hot in traffic and these years are known for the original-style crankshaft compensator failing with a loud clunk on start-up or takeoff β€” the updated SE compensator kit is a common and worthwhile fix. Also look for weeping rocker/base gaskets and confirm a proper tune if a stage kit or slip-ons were added.

πŸ’°

Rare CVO, steadier value

Built in small numbers for only three model years (FLSTSE/SE2/SE3) at nearly $30,000 new, these took a big early depreciation hit but have since flattened out and now hold value better than most CVOs. Unmolested examples with original paint, both bags, windshield, and full service history command a clear premium over modified ones.
