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.Throw a leg over a Heritage Softail® Classic, and just like that, you’ve bought yourself a one-way ticket to happier days. One look at the studded leather bags and you can’t help but grin. Beefy tires on optional Chrome Profile Laced wheels, graced by chrome-accented fenders. King-size detachable windshield. Low two-up seat with backrest. Giant chrome headlight and passing lamps. This is how the early dressers did it. Today’s version combines all this with the best of today’s technology. For example, the Classic gets a wrinkle black and chrome Twin Cam 88B® engine with smooth-riding dual counterbalancers. Fire one up and good feelings fill the soul.For a limited time, we are offering one-of-a kind, custom color combinations that are over and above the standard two-tone color options available during the model year. These limited color combinations come with a custom decal that is only available through the Custom Color program. Each color has unique complementing pinstripes.
The perfect blend of classic, raw bobber style and contemporary power creates a modern ride with unmistakable old-iron attitude. The 2012 Softail® Slim™ FLS blends raw, minimalistic 1940's bobber styling with up-to-date old school minimalism. The Slim offers tons of stripped down attitude, fat features, including black-rimmed wheels, round black air cleaner cover, Hollywood-style handlebars and fat chromed front forks, as well as raw, minimalistic finishes throughout. Its chopped rear fender and narrow rear profile adds to the Softail Slim's long, lean vintage chopper look. The 103 cc Twin Cam engine gives the Slim FLS the power punch you need to crush those hills or leave traffic passed and behind. The Softail FLS sports blacked-out features and raw finishes for a no-nonsense attitude that recalls classic bobbers of the 1940's; the engine, rims, air-cover, headlamp and more are all blacked-out. The Harley-Davidson® Slim rides with confidence-inspiring handling, at low and high speeds, and its light design makes putting it on or lifting it off its easy jiffy stand quick and easy. The Harley Slim is a great value with muscular, minimalist styling and powerful performance packed into a bike that's affordable.

And this special edition shows a darker side of the original "fat custom" bike — laid-back and blacked-out with an unmistakable profile on the road. Take a minute and learn about all the features of the Fat Boy Lo.
When we set out to build a custom motorcycle, we always look to give a set of eyes the deluxe treatment. Check out the new Softail® Deluxe and see if your eyes have ever felt better. Wide whitewalls. Massive front fork. Long-barreled shotgun pipes. Clean front light bars with bullet signals. Sculpted chrome headlight and nacelle. Tombstone taillight. It’s a style as deluxe as it gets. We took it even further when we lowered the suspension and added a new low seat with grab rail. At just 24.5 in. off the ground, this new bike grabs the road like it grabs the eyes. As low as the seat is, the custom appeal is high. Pullback riser and bar. Generous floorboards. Fuel tank and fender emblems. Integrated luggage rack. A unique speedometer with big retro-style digits so you’ll always have a pretty face to look at. Lighting up that pretty face is the powerful, wrinkle black and chrome Twin Cam 88B™, in carb or EFI. So the pit of your stomach gets the deluxe treatment, too.
The 2012 Harley-Davidson® Softail® Blackline® FXS is a modern, long, custom motorbike with a minimalist, low profile and plenty of vintage Harley-Davidson parts. New for 2012, the Harley Blackline features a new, larger air-cooled Twin Cam 103™ Harley engine with 6-speed cruise drive transmission, providing more power for passing, hill-climbing, and riding with passenger and luggage. The FXS Blackline features a rigid 'hardtail' rear suspension and narrow rear profile. This contemporary custom bike is slung low with an aggressive riding position that is both cool and comfortable. The Harley Blackline is reminiscent of the glory days of Harley-Davidson motorcycling—the black headlight, slammed speedo mounted on the triple clamp, round air cleaner cover and black horseshoe oil tank are reminiscent of pre-war H-D parts and accessories; the fuel tank with small tank graphics are inspired by the 1977 Low Rider motorcycle; and the black cylinders with gray heads and black rocker covers is a look you'd find on the Panheads and Shovelheads of the 1950's and 60's. The 2012 H-D Softail Blackline features a lot of blacked-out parts and not a ton of extras—everything is functional and ready for the road.
