Что следует знать покупателям

🎒

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 — 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.

🔧

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 — 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.

💰

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.
