Any help appreciated !!!

A Harley-Davidson by the cases but I'm hardly an expert on their confusing in-bred model line.

FXSTC featured on the 1992 - 1997 Renegade television series...

The one on the TV show was a 1989 model...

No, not a shopper guy :dodgy:
This is a shot from "Bad Timing", an episode of Miami V. And while enthusiasts (online) seem to know pretty much every single detail about this and any other episodes, the cycle wasn't ever identified.

I guessed HD, but couldn't tell for sure. And now that I see the pics on cycle trader, I am sure you are right. You would do the MV fans a big favor if you updated the MV wikipedia page

What was the quality of materials and workmanship at HD around 1990 on a scale of 1 to 10, if anyone dares to guess ? Engines, electrics, forks etc ? gearbox, chrome, seat ?
Is 30 years peanuts for a FX with proper maintenance, or endless cost and pain for the 2nd hand owner ?

Looks like a Softtail Standard to me.
