The softail frame was designed to look like the hardtail bikes of the past, showing off the clean lines of the motorcycle while still offering the comfort of rear suspension. The shock absorbers for the softail models are positioned along the axis of the motorcycle, tucked away under the transmission.
Introduced in 1984, the Harley Softail lineup has undergone many changes over the years as hugely popular models as the Fatboy and the Heritage Softail Classic were brought out.
The Softail models do not have rubber-mounted engines, like the Dyna and Touring models. While this would ordinarily lead to more vibration, current Softail models use a counterbalanced version of the Twin Cam engine instead of the regular Twin Cam used on the other full-size models.
