Hi all. I'm currently in search of blue on a FXSTSSE3.
Can I describe a driver please FXSTSSE its experience of the machine? Gibts considered something special. How can the press go on long journeys. What is the seating position.
I would be delighted I was to hear from you


Thanks Schwälmer

You may wish to re phrase your questions, it is very difficult to understand what you are asking.

My guess at the questions:

He's considering the purchase of a blue SE Springer.

He's asking those who own or have ridden one for their riding impressions of the bike.

He wants to know what it's like to ride the bike on extended trips.

"Gibts considered something special.". This one, I got no clue. Perhaps Kraut can help.

How in shape are you?  That's really going to dictact how comfortable the bike is for you on long rides.  Personally, I'm young and in pretty good shape and rather enjoy the comfort of the bike on long rides.  300 mile days are not a problem with the stock seat.  Even with the wide rear tire, the handling is surprisingly good.

However, the springer fork has a bit more travel than the hydraulic forks and can create a bit more vibration on uneven surfaces.  If you are looking for a bike that you use mostly for longer trips, it may not be the best option.  If you're looking for a bike that you cruise around on and occasionally throw bags and a windshield on for long trips, you won't be dissappointed.  
  
The thrill of riding this bike and all the looks you'll get at gas stations and stop lights clearly makes up for a few minor comfort issues.

I have a 07 Fxstsse, I totally agree with the above post!  I love mine!  I like the hard seat, I can sit on it and ride all day long, just stopping for gas, drink and snack breaks!

I have a FXSTSSE2 and I have riden it on a few long trips. I am 6'3 inches tall and I find the bike is a bit small on a long ride. I am too big for a 1975 Cadillac too! My legs get a bit sore (maybe I am too tense on the ride). The seat is a bit hard but I don't mind it. I love the look of the bike and would not change it other than the pipes that were modified in V&H 2 into 1.

It is a great bike! A great looker and a great rider! Even for us tall guys.

Having said all this, Orange is the fastest colour!
