Harley-Davidson® Softail®

Complete Your Softail

The Harley-Davidson Softail family covers everything from stripped-down cruisers to clubstyle performance builds and long-mile classics. Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde gives that platform the missing piece: premium adjustable sound built around your exact motorcycle.

Built For The Way A Softail Is Ridden

A Softail is not a background motorcycle. It has shape, stance, and presence before you ever press the starter. The exhaust should finish that look instead of feeling like an add-on.

Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde systems are built to give your Harley-Davidson Softail a deeper voice, premium finish, and three selectable sound modes. Keep it controlled when you need to be respectful, ride in Dynamic for everyday use, or open Mr. Hyde mode when you want the bike to feel fully awake.

Whether your build leans clubstyle, classic cruiser, stripped-down bobber, or long-mile comfort, the configurator helps match the system, finish, and options to your exact motorcycle.

V-Strike Header Setup

Give Your Softail A More Aggressive Stance

Most Harley-Davidson Softail models before 2025 came with staggered headers from the factory. The V-Strike header setup completely changes that look by stacking the mufflers over each other and pulling the system tighter toward the motor.
