2005 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXST - SOFTAIL SILVER, Back in 1984, Harley-Davidson set the motorcycle world on fire with the introduction of an innovative model known as the Softail. The newly designed chassis would be one of the bright spots for the company as the new management team attempted to separate itself from the dark days of the AMF era. In conjunction with the Evolution engine, the new Softail chassis would go far in showing the faithful just how serious the company was when it came to building high-quality, reliable, and stylish motorcycles. The model was a huge success, and, as they say, the rest is history.What helped put the Softail over the top was a chassis design that drastically changed the way the rear suspension worked when compared with other models the Motor Company was producing at the time. Not only were the workings of it different, the overall look and styling of the frame was reminiscent of hardtail frames produced by Harley in years past.By combining a rigid-look frame with a swingarm controlled by a pair of shocks and springs mounted horizontally below the transmission, the Motor Company had come up with something many riders were looking for: classic good looks and a comfortable ride, all in the same bike.
