Feast your eyes on this absolutely stunning 2011 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic FLSTC — a motorcycle built for comfort, style, and cross-country freedom. If you’re looking for a Harley that delivers classic American cruiser styling with modern reliability, smooth power delivery, and all-day riding comfort, this is the one.

This Heritage Softail is an absolute joy to ride. Powered by Harley’s legendary counterbalanced Twin Cam engine, it delivers massive torque with remarkably low vibration, making it one of the smoothest-riding Softails ever produced. Rated at approximately 94 ft-lbs of torque, this bike pulls strong through every gear and sounds incredible thanks to the professionally installed Stage 1 performance upgrades.

Finished in beautiful factory Merlot Sunglo with vivid black accents and hand-painted red pinstriping, the paint glows brilliantly in the sunlight with a deep metallic “root beer” effect that has to be seen in person to truly appreciate. Combined with the extensive factory chrome package, this Heritage has timeless Harley-Davidson presence from every angle.

Performance & Upgrades Include:

• Stage 1 performance kit

• Screamin’ Eagle high-flow intake system

• Vance & Hines Short Shots exhaust system

• Quick-detach windshield

• Leather windshield stash pouch

• Chrome highway bars with highway pegs and comfort boot pads

• Upgraded chrome passenger pegs with rubber inserts

• Passenger backrest with luggage rack

• Battery tender hookup included

• Live to Ride Twin Cam cam cover

• Professionally polished aluminum fork lowers

• Chrome laced wheels

• Chrome engine covers

• Full factory leather saddlebag package with chrome trim

The Vance & Hines pipes sound absolutely fantastic — deep, aggressive, and unmistakably Harley without being obnoxious.

This bike is set up perfectly for touring or cruising. Throw a travel bag on the rear luggage rack and you’re ready to ride cross-country tomorrow. Prefer local summer cruising? Remove the windshield in seconds using the factory quick-detach setup and enjoy a stripped-down boulevard cruiser look.
