Guys we all know something about Softail Models. But is there anyone who can tell me why is this known as Softail???

"These big-twin motorcycles capitalize on Harley's strong value on tradition" this is what wikipidea says. i dont know what does it exactly mean.

i think its just a name. i have made some research about it. but really there is not much info regarding this issue.

I also don't know its reason. I also think this just a mane. Nothing else.

I found a nice and reasonably cheap way to get rid of some of the crappy cad plated junk hardware the factory puts our bikes together with. I did this one on the fender struts on my bike.
But I'm sure that you guys can find otherplaceson your bikes to use it or a variation of it on.

Usesome SS treaded rod, I used SS carrage bolts and cut the threaded section to lengths needed. Jam acorn nuts on the ends with some JB Weld so they don't come apart. I would have used a stainless steel pin through the nut and rod but couldn't find any, and the JB seems to do the job just fine.

I am not sure about why it is named as softail........
