the 2004 Harley-Davidson FXST/I Softail Standard is a straight-up rebel on two wheels. This bike is like that cool uncle who shows up to family BBQs in a leather vest, smells like freedom, and tells stories that start with “Back in Sturgis…”. It’s raw, stripped-down, and unapologetically classic. Engine: Twin Cam 88 — 1450cc of American thunder. It doesn’t purr, it growls. Fuel Injection: The “I” in FXST/I means it’s got EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection), so it’s smoother than a whiskey chaser. Softail Frame: Looks like a hardtail, rides like a cloud. Hidden rear suspension keeps your spine happy while still looking old-school. Transmission: 5-speed gearbox — just enough to make the highway your playground. Weight: Around 650 lbs dry — heavy enough to feel solid, light enough to throw around curves.
It’s the kind of bike that doesn’t need to prove anything. Perfect canvas for customization — choppers, bobbers, rat rods, you name it. It’s got soul. Not just a machine, but a mood.
