2006 Harley Davidson Softail Range
Softail Standard | Night Train | Heritage Softail | Fat Boy | Softail Deluxe | Springer Classic | Heritage Softail Classic | Screamin' Eagle Fat Boy
All Softail models are powered by the 1450cc Twin Cam 88B engine, rigid-mounted in
the frame so that it becomes an integral element of the motorcycle, enhancing the
emotional connection between the rider and road. The Twin Cam 88B engine with
Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection, is equipped with internal counter-balance
shafts that quell 90 percent of primary engine vibration.
The 2006 Harley-Davidson Softail family of motorcycles,
the benchmark for custom motorcycle styling and performance, grows in 2006 with the
reintroduction of the FLSTI Heritage Softail.
The FLSTI Heritage Softail was originally in production from 1986 to 1990. Its revival for
2006 marks the return of a model that represents the roots of the Softail line and will
serve as a new entry point for riders seeking an FL Softail model that's ripe for personal
customisation.
The Softail line features the reintroduction of the charismatic FLSTI Heritage
Softail and the debut of a wide, 200mm rear tyre on the FXSTI Softail
Standard and FXSTBI Softail Night Train.
A new 200mm-wide rear tyre is covered by a wider, more sculpted bobtail fender that
gives all of the Softail models that receive it a more assertive look for 2006. These totally
re-designed rear sections appear on the FXSTI Softail Standard and the FXSTBI Night
Train.
The Softail line takes its name from the innovative Harley-Davidson Softail chassis.
Launched in 1984, the Softail mimics the look of a vintage "hardtail" frame and swingarm
but offers modern, comfortable suspension controlled by hidden, horizontal rear shock
absorbers and springs. The result is an uncluttered, classic profile that lends itself to
diverse interpretation by Harley-Davidson stylists, influenced both by Motor Company
heritage and cutting-edge custom designs. Each Softail model is a premium custom
designed to stir the soul and offer a reliable, comfortable riding experience.
