2008 Harley-Davidson FXSTSSE2 Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer
Sporting the perfect blend of modern performance and nostalgic style, Harley-Davidson rolls out a stunning motorcycle with the 2008 FXSTSSE2 Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer. As a showcase of color and chrome, the Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer will excite riders and thrill onlookers everywhere. This second edition creation from Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) takes a timeless Harley-Davidson motorcycle to powerful and pleasurable extremes with a Twin Cam 110B engine, abundant chrome and dazzling colors, including the serialized 105th Anniversary combination with gold leaf graphics.
Harley-Davidson CVO brings a bold, muscular look to the classic front end of the Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer for 2008. With a new 18 x 3.5-inch chrome Revolver front wheel and a 130 mm, 18-inch front tire added to color-matched rigid forks and chromed spring components, the Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer boasts a wider front fender with a restyled mounting bracket and strut that give the bike an aggressive, daring stance. The front brake assembly moves to the left side of the wheel for a clean look, while the front brake lever has a reduced reach for optimal ergonomics. The high flow, forward facing exposed Heavy Breather intake displays a special “110″ end cap. Other new components include a chrome horn cover, color-matched frame inserts and chrome rear axle nut covers, along with braided cables and lines.
The Harley-Davidson CVO group creates limited-production, exclusive motorcycles produced by a team of highly skilled technicians in a special assembly area at the Harley-Davidson plants in York, Pa., and Kansas City. Approximately 2,500 of the 2008 Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer will be assembled at the York Vehicle Operations facility. The serialized 105th Anniversary package will be limited to a maximum production of 1,050. The suggested U.S. retail price for the 2008 Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer is $24,995 (25,095 in California). The 105th Anniversary package adds $495.
Also new to the Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer is the exclusive Granite and Chrome treatment on the largest-displacement production engine offered by Harley-Davidson. The 110-cid (1800cc) Twin Cam 110B, a high-performance V-Twin engine, delivers even more exhilaration than last year. Thanks to the free flowing Heavy Breather intake, torque increases five percent to an impressive 110 ft. lbs. at 3000 rpm. The engine is rigid-mounted in the Softail frame and equipped with internal counter-balanced shafts that eliminate 90 percent of primary engine vibration. Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) is standard on the Twin Cam 110B. The chrome shotgun exhaust exits through slash-down mufflers. The engine is mated to a 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission for lower cruising rpm in top gear.
The Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer will also carry items new to the Softail line for 2008 such as a floating rear brake caliper, bolt-on frame tails and fender support covers, and a new fuel pump, line and sender. The Centerline accessory collection remains this year with grips, pegs and brake and shifter pedals and an added Centerline horn cover. The handlebar is secured with smooth clamps and tucked in-between is a spun aluminum mini-tachometer with a contoured bezel. Additional color-matched components include the frame, swingarm, rigid fork, oil tank, headlight bucket, muffler support bar, seat post and top triple clamp.
With a molded-ribbed chrome console running from the handlebar to the two-up leather seat, the Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer rides over a wide Bobtail fender with a Tri-Bar LED tail lamp. The 200 mm rear tire on a 17-inch Revolver Chrome, 10-spoke Forged Aluminum wheel caps off the back end with a substantial custom feel. Front and rear brake calipers match the Granite engine treatment.
The Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer will be offered in three exclusive color combinations with two new graphic schemes: The scalloped flame metal grind scheme will feature Inferno Orange with Fireburst Flames and Black Diamond with Smoked Candy Flames. The 105th Anniversary scheme of Crystal Copper and Black Onyx will include gold leafing graphics and a serialized 105th Anniversary cloisonné. Frame and swingarm are color-matched with each paint pattern. A Harley-Davidson Smart Security System with Smart Siren, an indoor storage cover with CVO logo, and a commemorative CVO key in a presentation box are also included.
