The Harley Davidson Softail motorcycle models are as popular as ever and will always be the main part of the Harley Davidson line-up. Since the 1970's therm softail has been associated with the Harley Davidson brand.

Softail refers to a kind of suspension system that is installed in such a position that is located along the axis of the motorcycle for the purpose of giving the rider a smooth ride.

The shock absorbers are relocated beneath the transmission thereby intentionally concealing it from view and absorbing the shocks so the motorbike wouldn't vibrate as much when it hit bumps and potholes on the road.

It has larger engine than the HArley Davidson Sportster and a front end like the Harley Davidson Softail and sportster models. The Harley Davidson dyna glide have dual shock rear suspension like the Harley Davidson Road King.
