2006 Harley-Davidson Springer® Softail®

In the saddle of a Harley-Davidson® Softail®, no road is ever lonely. Sunlight breaks through treetops to dance on chromed steel. The wind offers its constant stream of praise. And the world unfolds before you with open arms. Maybe it’s because nothing else on the road compares with the timeless hardtail styling ... and nothing else feels like a Twin Cam 88B™ power mill rigid-mounted to the frame. Counterbalancing takes care of all but the good vibrations. You and the motorcycle become one, united by an unbreakable bond. Then you feel the hidden rear suspension smooth out the ride with a full 4" of travel. There’s no denying you’re in the saddle of a rolling masterpiece. This year, the Softail family of custom motorcycles welcomes its latest member. We invite you to turn the page and take a gander at the clean lines of the new Heritage Softail®. Additionally, all new bobtail models get a shot of adrenaline in the hindquarters — a brawny, road-hugging 200mm tire under a new wider fender. More rubber to stick to the pavement. More style to keep the eyes glued. There’s no mistaking what this one’s all about. A skinny tire on a Springer® front end. The Springer® Softail®. It’s a perfect balance of style and engineering. And believe us when we tell you it’s as fun to ride as it is to look at. This year, the biggest news is at the opposite end of the leading-link suspension. Beneath a new, widened bobtail fender sits a street-hungry 200mm tire that’s impossible to miss. There’s also a Badlander® seat, low-rise bar and wheel-to-wheel chrome. Plenty of looks with an equal serving of performance. You get a powerful, rigid-mounted, counterbalanced Twin Cam 88B™ engine. The rest is up to you and the endless miles of pavement that lie ahead.
