Softail Standard
The Softail Standard is Harley's most stripped-down Softail — a Milwaukee-Eight 107 V-twin in a 655-lb package with minimal equipment by design, intended as a blank canvas for custom builds rather than a ready-to-ride tourer. One open NHTSA recall requires remedy verification before purchase; confirm it has been resolved on any used example.
