2006 Harley Davidson FLSTI Heritage Softail

FLSTI Heritage Softail Reintroduced For 2006 -

New Standard Wide Rear Tyre and Fender for Bobtail Softail Models

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.

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.

FLSTI Heritage Softail;

The reintroduced FLSTI Heritage Softail offers the elemental styling traits of the Softail platform - hardtail styling and a rigid-mounted engine - with the classic Harley-Davidson FL "large" front end and wrap-around FL rear fender.

The Heritage Softail comes equipped with laced wheels, a silver powder-coated engine with polished covers, and floorboards with a heel-and-toe shifter. A new seat design includes a quick release passenger pillion that can be removed in seconds, leaving the rear fender uncovered behind a solo seat. A four-bolt rear-fender support attachment design makes it easy to add optional saddlebags to the Heritage Softail, and maintains a clean look when the bags are removed.

Offered in four different colours, the Heritage Softail features a distinctive new broadstripe tank graphic. A satisfying motorcycle in its own right, the Heritage Softail also offers itself as a starting point for a rider planning extensive customisation.
