Rocker box gasket.
Ignition pickup.
Plug wires separated at coil boot.
Speedometer cable backed out.
Classic styling and comfortable ride in one package. Other than a few minor things, it's been a great ride. The best thing I ever did for myself.
Yup. Great bike. I have the 2005, which I think was the first year of re-introduction of the FLSTN. Mine is the Softail Deluxe. It's been great. Stock saddle and exhaust setup sucks, but I corrected that with Mustang saddle and Thunder header.
I am looking for a Heritage, but have heard several comments about the bike locking up and going out of control at certain medium speeds. I know of three experienced riders having this issue. Is this true, has it been determined unsafe?

I have owned my 1995 FLSTN since it was brand new. It is my baby. I now have almost 30,000 miles on it. The only thing that has gone wrong on it is the headlamp shorted out two weeks ago. This is definitely one of the most beautiful bikes the boys from Milwaukee have ever produced!
I have been riding my 95 FLSTN for about 10 yrs now and I love it. It got me to Sturgis from Boston with no problems. Does anybody know how many were made???
To the above comment, I believe they made 2,500 of them. I also ride a 95 FLSTN, and love it. Bought it a couple years ago and it's my favorite thus far. Haven't really had any problems with it, I had to change the primary to engine gasket, new clutch basket, and some carb work. People say the EVOL engines are money buckets, which I agree, but after 93 they seem pretty solid. No biggie! Super nice bikes, very happy.
I have had my 95 for about 4 months. As far as riding around town, I love it. It is a good looking bike and I get compliments on it all the time.
As far as going long distances, it is horrible. It rides like a brick and the seats aren't comfortable at all.
I am tearing it down this winter and getting the top end redone and painted. I am hoping to fix these problems that I have with the bike. If I am still not happy, I will buy an Ultra Classic next time. But again, overall I love my bike.
