Accessories for the Harley-Davidson Softail Springer (FXSTS)

The Harley-Davidson Softail Springer (FXSTS) is a custom motorcycle made for enjoying the journey as much as the destination. It suits unhurried rides on the open road, though it can also be part of your everyday travel. That mix of riding gives you a useful starting point when looking at accessories. Think about what matters when slowing for a bend, easing through town or coming to a stop with a passenger, rather than fitting something simply because it is available.

What riders usually fit to the Harley-Davidson Softail Springer (FXSTS)

The accessories here focus on braking. That is a practical place to start if you want to pay closer attention to how your Softail Springer feels during the journeys you actually make, from a short local run to a longer day out.

• Brakes: measured braking makes a difference on a relaxed custom ride. It helps you approach a junction calmly, settle your speed before a series of bends and stop smoothly when someone is riding with you. This group covers braking components for the model, with Braking among the accessory brands represented.

Not every ride asks the same thing of the brakes. In town, you may be stopping repeatedly at lights and crossings; on a country road, the focus shifts to judging your speed well before the next corner. If you use the bike for both, it makes sense to consider the feel you want in each setting. The aim is a braking response that suits the way you ride, not an abstract idea of how a custom ought to be used.

Keep the FXSTS designation and your motorcycle's year in mind as you look through the braking parts on this page. They help narrow the choice to your own Softail Springer.
