Harley-Davidson FXSTFB Bad Boy description
Beautiful 1996 Harley Davidson FXSTFB "Bad Boy". Original bike that runs great and is fully accessorized
If the name Softail Bad Boy seems a contradiction in terms, just call it the FXSTSB for short. Whatever the designation, the Springer is a stylistic nod to the Knucklehead and the black-and-white movies of the 1940s. jimmy Cagney would have ridden a Bad Boy.
Introduced in 1995, the Softail Springer with-an-attitude traded chrome for the black outfit of the boulevard bandito. The Bad Boy wore the slotted disc rear wheel of the Custom and the smaller 4.2-gallon fuel tank of the Springer. The studded, deeply-stepped saddle and forward-mount foot controls put the rider in the classic sit-up-and-beg posture. With seat height an inch (2.54cm) less than the Sportster Hugger, the rider sits more in than on the bike. The Bad Boy carried over to 1996 with only moderate revisions. More chrome had turned black, seat height dropped still lower to 25.75 inches (65.4cm) and the machine lost five pounds (2.27kg). The electronic speedometer arrived and the price went up by $575. The Black Bart color scheme remained the only option, but the tank and fender graphics were offered in choices of either yellow, purple or turquoise.
The Bad Boy rekindles the imagery of the past framed in the hardware of the present. The Softail chassis geometry was revised for slightly more rear wheel travel, and the new quieter, smoother-shifting gearbox and slotted floating disc brakes bring standards of contemporary performance. But the Bad Boy sells on its bold profile and patent leather sheen; Milwaukee's version of the Batmobile. |
