2015 Harley Davidson Softail Slim FLS 103 Harley Built Wartime Custom

Highlights


• Custom built by Harley main dealer
• Unique paint scheme
• Full history

The Background 

The Softail name first appeared in 1984 and covers a number of Harley Davidson models, including the Softail Standard, Custom, Springer Softail, Heritage Softail, Heritage Springer, Night Train, Deluxe, Deuce, Fat Boy, Softail Slim, the Dark Custom Cross Bones, the Dark Custom Blackline and Breakout. 

All are inked by the hidden rear suspension giving the appearance of a Hard Tail bike, but giving the comfort and ride of a sprung one, with the shock absorbers hidden under the transmission unit 2017 when they were moved to below the seat.

The History 

The current owner has had this bike three years, and has added some personal touches but having multiple bikes has decided to part with this one. 

It was bought new in the UK in 2015, and was taken back to Harley Davidson’s Oxford dealer around 2016 or 17 where it was repainted in the heritage pre-war paint scheme. It has been serviced when required back at the main dealer.

The Paperwork 

With low miles the Harley has not needed much service and no repair work during the current owners time with the Softail. It was last serviced by Harley Davidson Guildford and MOT’d in February this year, and the full service history is her online by the main dealer network.

The Exterior


Painted in the inter-war years colour scheme of olive green with red and gold pin striping which superbly complement the retro styling of the bike. Having been done to main dealer standards the paint and striping quality is excellent, there is just a small scratch inside one front fork and some bubbling of the paint on the opposite fork. Overall the condition is excellent in all areas.

A genuine Harley Police seat was added in 2018 and the rear seat and foot pegs removed for a cleaner look.The pegs are included and fittings remain should they be wanted. Adding the the war time service and mild custom look is an air siren on the rear left, foot operated by a pedal mounted behind the left foot rest, a popular European custom mod bought from the Netherlands.

A subtle mod at the front are the small LED indicators, replacing the large standard items. This was done by Harley Davidson Guildford as it required coding to the bike.

The front wheel has been rebuilt with stainless spokes and the front tyre has only covered around 200 miles. The owner also has screen and vintage style panniers which can be bought with the bike if wanted.

Mechanics

With a full main dealer service history and most other work carried out by the same the bike has an excellent history. A Power FC box is included as it has a stage 1 tune, and a battery tender hook up and USB power outlet have been added for ease of use.

The appeal


With its pre war styling and colour scheme this has the look of a classic bike but with modern engineering the reliability and more usable ride comfort of a new bike.

Having rare dealer option paint this has a fairly unique look, great for someone wanting that retro look but wanting to stand out without being garish or obvious

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
