Combining Harley-Davidson heritage, elaborate custom artistry, and personal celebrity provenance, this extraordinary 2012 Harley-Davidson FLSTN Softail Deluxe was created over many years as a deeply personal tribute to the life and career of Elvis Presley. This motorcycle is as much a rolling work of art and piece of Elvis memorabilia as it is a beautifully equipped Harley-Davidson.
The Softail Deluxe was part of Harley-Davidson's Softail family, a series introduced in the mid-1980s and designed around a hidden rear suspension system that preserved the clean, rigid-frame appearance of classic Harley-Davidson motorcycles while providing modern riding comfort. For 2012, the FLSTN Softail Deluxe combined that traditional styling with contemporary Harley-Davidson engineering, featuring sweeping fenders, a low-slung profile, chrome detailing, and a comfortable two-up touring-oriented configuration.
Power comes from Harley-Davidson's muscular 103-cubic-inch Twin Cam V-twin, delivering abundant torque and the unmistakable character associated with Milwaukee's big-inch engines. The engine is paired with a six-speed Cruise Drive transmission, providing relaxed highway cruising while retaining the strong acceleration and mechanical personality expected from a large-displacement Harley-Davidson.
What truly sets this example apart, however, is its remarkable Elvis Presley provenance. Longtime Elvis enthusiast and superfan Stanley Kozlowski of Warren, Michigan, spent years developing the motorcycle into an ultimate tribute to the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Through repeated visits to Graceland during Elvis reunions and through personal contacts within Elvis's circle, Kozlowski had the motorcycle signed by numerous individuals who had meaningful connections to Elvis Presley and his career.
Among the many signatures are those of legendary guitarist James Burton; Karen Fontana, representing the late DJ Fontana, Elvis's renowned drummer; pianist Glen D. Hardin; singer and songwriter Mark James; longtime Memphis clothier Hal Lansky; jeweler Lowell Hayes; actress Cynthia Pepper, Elvis's co-star in Kissin' Cousins; classic-car mechanic Billy Strawn; Ron Strauss, co-pilot of Elvis's famed aircraft Lisa Marie; and Elvis's first girlfriend, Dixie Locke-Emmons, among many others. Even Bill Morris, who served as Mayor and County Sheriff and famously deputized Elvis Presley, added his signature to the motorcycle.
The motorcycle's extensive custom airbrush artwork provides the visual centerpiece for this extraordinary tribute. Executed over time by multiple airbrush artists, the elaborate painted panels celebrate Elvis's remarkable life, music, films, military service, stage career, and enduring cultural legacy. The artwork incorporates an incredible range of Elvis imagery and accomplishments, transforming virtually every visible surface into part of a larger commemorative display. The depth and intricacy of the work are difficult to fully convey through photography and truly must be experienced in person.
Beyond its one-of-a-kind appearance, the motorcycle remains a highly usable example of Harley-Davidson's touring-capable Softail Deluxe. Equipment includes a front batwing fairing with windshield and Nakamichi audio system, fog lamps, locking Harley-Davidson hard saddlebags, chrome wire-spoke wheels, dual rearview mirrors, and a rear passenger buddy seat with parcel rack. The odometer shows just 9,685 miles.
This 2012 Harley-Davidson FLSTN Softail Deluxe is therefore much more than a customized motorcycle. It represents the passion of one dedicated Elvis Presley enthusiast, the craftsmanship of multiple artists, and a remarkable collection of signatures from people who were connected to Elvis at various points throughout his extraordinary life and career. For the Elvis collector, Harley-Davidson enthusiast, or admirer of truly unique Americana, this is an exceptionally personal and visually compelling tribute to one of the most influential entertainers of the 20th century.
