Built around Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2004 Harley-Davidson FXSTSI Springer Softail utilizes a 1449 cc (88.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 102 Nm (75.2 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.3 x 101.6 mm (3.8 x 4.0 inches) with a 8.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FXSTSI Springer Softail measures 302 kg (666 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 640 mm (25.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,660 mm (65.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.9-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
