was just wondering if anyone has ever done an HD softail style swingarm on an XS? bench building in the garage last night... thought it would be good for a hardtail look but have a little suspension back there... :shrug:
 
Hi Ace,
you'd have to find shocks that work in tension.
Pay the earth for Harley parts?
Or use industrial tension springs and a car shock?
 
tension shocks are available.... for old model t's.... I was thinking of building my own swingarm... just thinking it would be a good look... but not sure.... hoping to find out if anyone else ever done such a thing
 
V-stars Road Stars, Roadliners and Stratoliners all have softail style rear ends, but don't use wonky "pull to load" spring and damper setups, so you don't need 2!
