2007 Harley Davidson Softail Night Train (fxstb) -- Very Well Cared For on 2040-motos

For sale is my 2007 Harley Davidson Softail Night Train (FXSTB). I’m the second owner, and purchased the bike in March of 2010 with 6,393 miles. This bike has provided me 3.5 years of absolute joy, but the time has come to sell it now that my daughter is getting older and my spare time is decreasing at an alarming rate, and my current job is not conducive with motorcycle commuting.

The 9,000+ miles I’ve driven it consist of commuting to work, solo trips to Fayetteville, AR, St. Louis, MO, Lake Ozark, MO, and other, less significant trips. It’s been used exclusively for its intended purpose – cruising comfortably while looking good. It hasn’t failed me once.

I AM NOT the guy you see revving his engine at stop lights, banging the engine off the rev limiter, doing burnouts, or leaving each stop light as though the fuzz are on his tail. Quite honestly, I just don’t get any of that. But, to each his/her own. I AM the guy who takes care of his belongings -- I always let the bike warm up before taking off, and don’t rev it much until the oil temp starts to rise. Likewise, the oil temp has never exceeded 240 degrees under my ownership. All of this is to say that the bike has been cared for, which shows.

It was in excellent condition when I acquired it, and needed virtually nothing. However, to be safe, I immediately replaced the transmission, primary, and engine fluids with Amsoil. Since then, the primary and transmission fluids have been changed once, and the engine oil has been changed approximately every 2,000 miles. The oil filter was replaced with an Amsoil unit with each oil change.

It’s always garaged and kept clean, polished, waxed, etc. That being said, I HAVE driven it in the rain at least a half dozen times. Also, it’s sat out overnight multiple times while on trips. Nothing untoward has ever happened, though.

The bike is stock, with the following upgrades/add-ons:

- Power Commander III
- Upgraded HD air filter
- Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes
- Upgraded full set of grips/pegs/foot controls

- Factory service manual
- New HD battery last summer (kept on a battery tender when not being ridden)
- New rear Michelin Commander II tire 1,000 miles ago
- Amsoil engine/oil filter change less than 1,000 miles ago

As mentioned, I’m a guy who’s meticulous about his belongings, so I’ll nit-pick the bike just so there are no surprises…

- The finish on the lip of the rear wheel is less-than-perfect. It presents itself quite well and polishes up nicely, but is notorious for premature clear coat fail after some use.
- There is one chip (the only one on the bike) on the right hand side of the tank the size of a small pencil eraser head. I’ve touched it up with genuine HD paint.
- The chrome on the right hand grip has started to pit.
- There's a spot on the top exhaust pipe shield that has light scuffing, likely due to a boot rubbing it. It was like that when I bought it.
- It will likely need front pads in the near future. I believe I have spares. If so, they will come with the bike.
- The Power Commander III brings with it an annoyance that occasionally causes the bike to crank an extra time or two before firing. That’s it. It’s a common, documented issue with the PCIII that has no ill effect on the motor or performance. This bike has always started and run flawlessly. In fact, I circumvent the annoyance by hitting the Start switch a second or two after turning the Run switch on, as opposed to waiting for all of the idiot lights to go out.
- If I think of something else, I’ll add it.

***PLEASE UNDERSTAND that I mention the above in the interest of being honest. Many ads don’t cover this information, oftentimes implying that a product is in perfect condition. My motorcycle isn’t perfect, but, after reading the above and seeing the bike, you’d realize just how nitpicky I am! It’s CLOSE to perfect. I just don’t like surprises as a buyer or a seller. That said, I encourage you to ask questions about the condition, and will happily provide additional photos and even videos.

Here's a link to a Youtube video of it being started last week for the first time in three months.
