Saddle bag added after realising I can’t keep carrying things done the back of my pants ;-)

Soft tails first came out in 1983-4 ish I think. About the same time shovels stopped.
Seems a bit strange that it has taken so long for someone else (Triumph) to start making basically the same thing with the Bobber and now the Speedmaster.
Especially seeing that soft tails were generally considered not as good handling as twin shockied swingarm bikes.

Interesting you say that Hilly.
I am happy with the way my FXST handles too. I've put progressive on the rear and those progressive cartridges in the front. Plus a wider front tyre.
The 200 wide back tyre does take a bit of extra effort in the corners however you just get used to it.
Guess I was just referring to the normal , "Dynas handle better than Soft tails" comments you hear.
Last Dyna I rode was a fatbob, it handled pretty well but could not deal with bumps as well as my softie.

Hilly,

Yep really looking the goods now mate

Wow Tassie really is upside down...LOL

Re upside down pics, with all devices you're supposed to hold the device so that when taking a landscape picture the bottom of the device is on the right side. Apple pics taken upside down don't correct easily for some reason on this forum. 

Nice Hilly, lurking in the shadows.

Got myself a new (old) softail today...

Thanks blokes. She's a 1989 fxsts softail springer with low mileage and practically original. Even the exhaust and air cleaner are oem. She's only set up for touring for the trip to her new home. I bought her to keep the dyna company in the garage. Will have her on historical rego.
