2008 Harley-Davidson Softail. October 2007
The Rocker and extra-chrome Rocker C are part of a seven model Softail line for 2008. Each model represents a distinct branch of the factory custom tree; the nostalgia of the FLSTN Softail Deluxe & FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic; the long chopper profile of the FXSTB Night Train & FXSTC Softail Custom; and the undeniable presence of the always popular FLSTF Fat Boy.
ESPFI fuel injection is standard on all '08 Softails, as is a 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. A horseshoe shaped oil tank located below the seat and fuel tank-mounted console and ignition are other distinctive features of the 2008 Harley-Davidson softail lineup.
New features common to all Softail models for 2008:
Top mounted battery: Terminal attachment points have been relocated to the top of the battery for easier service access.
Hollow Axles: New 25 mm hollow axles are assembled with new bearings, spacers and sleeves inside the wheel to help stiffen the rear swingarm for a more stable feel on the road.
105th Anniversary models:
limited edition, serialised 105th Anniversary Edition FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic, FXSTC Softail Custom, FLSTF Fat Boy, and FLSTN Softail Deluxe will be available in 2008.
