One of the more significant developments of H-D's post-AMF era was the introduction in 1984 of the traditionally styled Softail. The Softail featured a cleverly disguised rear end looking like that of a pre-war 'rigid'-framed Harley but was, as its name suggests, sprung, with the two dampers mounted beneath the frame. Completing the 'vintage' retro look was a girder-type front fork with bottom link and centre spring. This was the look the die-hard Harley traditionalists had been waiting for, and the Springer Softail and its derivatives would prove an enduring success.

Testing a Heritage Softail in 1987, Bike magazine's editor Roger Willis was amazed at the effect the Harley had on people, attracting admiring glances wherever it went. He was even more surprised to discover that it actually worked.

Purchased new, this much modified Heritage Softail Classic features Patrick Billet engine components; Revtech brake callipers; floating front discs; and plentiful chrome throughout, including the swingarm and sprung footboards. Beautifully presented, the machine has covered only 14,432 kilometres from new. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugschein; an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; 2011 service invoice from Bobo's American Motorcycles; and a dynamometer printout.
