Harley-Davidson Softail

THE SPRINGER SOFTAIL CLASSIC
The Harley-Davidson have designed the softail frameto look like the hardtail bikes of the past, while still accomadating the comfort of rear suspension. The shock absorbers are positioned along the axis of the motorcycle, smartly tucked away under the transmission.
There are several Harley-Davidson models with the Softail frame, including the Softail Standard, Custom, Springer Softail, Heritage Softail, Heritage Springer, Night Train, Deluxe, Deuce, and Fatboy. These motorcycles have the same engine, transmission and frame with the exception of the Deuce.The engines on these softail models arn't rubber mounted,as this led to more vibration.To compensate for this, current Softail models use a counterbalanced version of the Twin Cam engine instead of the regular Twin Cam engine used in the Touring and Dyna models
The Softail range is the only range of Harley-Davidson motorcycle that offers a choice of front suspensions within the range.
