Flat-OutSafety ascends to a new level with Works’ air shocks for Softails. Besides looks and confident, smooth riding, the air Softail shocks are designed to “run flat” in an emergency. This means that if there were a loss of pressure, the bike could still be ridden at reduced speed to get to a safe haven. Additionally, if a line fails, the system deflates slowly to allow the rider to react and reduce speed and lean angle. To guard against line problems, stainless-steel sheathed hoses are used for strength and durability. Two versions are available: an eye-to-eye style for ’89-’99 models and the “post” style for ’00-up. Currently, the shocks are available in black only, with polished-billet compressor brackets and switch mounts.
