Harley-davidson Softail Custom
The Harley-davidson Softail Custom has a top speed of 175 km/h (estimated), produces 58 hp and weighs 287 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
Harley-Davidson Softail Custom (FXSTC) diperkenalkan pada tahun 1986 sebagai bagian dari keluarga Softail, yang memulai debutnya pada tahun 1984 dengan suspensi belakang tersembunyi yang dirancang untuk meniru tampilan helikopter hardtail klasik. FXSTC menonjol dengan roda belakang yang bertali, kontrol kaki yang dipasang ke depan, dan isyarat gaya khusus yang menarik bagi pengendara yang menginginkan estetika helikopter buatan pabrik. Itu tetap diproduksi hingga tahun 1999, menjadi salah satu varian Softail yang lebih populer dan membantu menentukan identitas kapal penjelajah Harley sepanjang akhir 1980-an dan 1990-an.

Apa yang Harus Diketahui Pembeli
Strong Resale Value
Harley-Davidson Softail Customs hold their value exceptionally well, often retaining 70-80% of their original price after 5 years. Limited production numbers on certain years make them particularly desirable in the used market.
Watch for Oil Leaks
Earlier Twin Cam models (1999-2017) are known for primary chain tensioner wear and rocker box gasket oil seepage. Always inspect the underside and primary cover area before purchasing a used example.
Unique Hardtail Styling
The Softail Custom uses a hidden rear suspension system that mimics the clean look of a rigid hardtail frame while still providing actual shock absorption. This iconic design has remained largely unchanged, making parts widely available and affordable.
Generasi & Spesifikasi berdasarkan Tahun
FXSTC asli diperkenalkan dengan Evolution V-twin, suspensi belakang tersembunyi, opsi roda berjari-jari atau cakram, gaya khusus klasik.
"Lambat, berat, cantik — dan entah bagaimana benar-benar membuat ketagihan."
Saya menempuh jarak 22.000 mil pada FXSTC '93 dan motor Evo tidak pernah sekalipun membuat saya terdampar, yang masih mengejutkan saya mengingat apa yang dilakukan era Shovelhead terhadap reputasi Harley. Pushrod kembar 1340cc itu menarik dari sekitar 2.000 rpm dengan torsi gemuk dan malas yang membuat berkendara di kota benar-benar santai — Anda tidak mengejar kekuatan, Anda mengendarai pelampung parade yang terdengar seperti Tuhan membersihkan tenggorokannya. Suspensi belakang yang tersembunyi adalah ilusi yang cerdas; terlihat kaku keras tetapi sebenarnya menyerap guncangan jalan yang layak, meskipun apa pun yang lebih kasar daripada jalan bebas hambatan yang tidak rata akan membuat tambalan Anda longgar dalam jangka panjang. Kenyamanan di jalan raya turun melebihi 110 km/jam karena getaran melalui palang dan pasak menjadi pijatan seluruh tubuh yang tidak Anda minta, dan berat basah 284 kg itu sangat jujur saat Anda salah menangkap camber di tempat parkir.

Kekurangan
Mesin Twin Cam 88B diadopsi pada tahun 2000, rangka yang diperbarui, suspensi yang direvisi, injeksi bahan bakar diperkenalkan 2007, ABS tersedia kemudian.
"Keren jadul dengan kompromi dunia nyata."
Twin Cam 96B menarik kuat dari idle dan kursi 660mm yang rendah membuat pengendara yang lebih pendek merasa betah, tetapi 302kg tidak hilang pada kecepatan rendah - manuver tempat parkir akan membuat Anda rendah hati dengan cepat. Sepeda karburator pra-2007 dikeluarkan dari pabrik dan berjalan cukup panas untuk menggoreng kaki kanan Anda di lalu lintas musim panas; sakelar injeksi bahan bakar 2007 adalah peningkatan nyata yang patut dicari. Di jalan raya terbuka itu benar-benar santai dan mesin yang seimbang jauh lebih halus daripada Evo Softails sebelumnya, meskipun menikung keras akan memiliki papan lantai yang berkobar sebelum Anda menemukan batas sebenarnya dari sepeda motor. Ini bukan sportbike dan tidak pernah berpura-pura, tetapi sebagai kapal penjelajah jarak jauh dengan kredibilitas gaya yang serius, ia mendapatkan tempatnya.

Kekurangan
Mesin Milwaukee-Eight 107, rangka Softail baru yang menyatukan lini Softail dan Dyna, peningkatan penanganan dan kinerja. Dihentikan setelah satu tahun.
Ulasan Pembeli Bekas
"A beautiful, trustworthy cruiser if you buy smart and inspect thoroughly."
$6,500-$13,500 usedThe Softail Custom is one of Harley's most honest bikes — it looks the part without trying too hard. The hardtail-mimicking rear suspension setup actually works better than it has any right to, soaking up pavement cracks while keeping that clean profile intact. Twin Cam 96 or 103 engines are bulletproof if maintained, and most owners treated these things like furniture, so finding a clean one isn't hard. That said, low seat height and forward controls make highway stints genuinely tiring for taller riders. Check the primary chain, inspect for leaks around the cam chest area on pre-2011 bikes, and wiggle every chrome piece because replacements aren't cheap. These things rust in places you won't notice until you're already writing the check. Budget extra for a proper service right after purchase. Previous owners skipped intervals constantly. Get the VIN checked, verify it's never been dropped — look at footpeg brackets and engine cases — and you'll have a genuinely reliable, gorgeous cruiser that depreciates slowly and turns heads consistently.
