Where I come from, a hard tail and a rigid frame were two different things. A hard tail was a rear section that could be bolted or welded to a swing arm frame to mimic a rigid frame; but like so many things, terms have become confused over the years. It's like all the Rubbies talking about a suicide shift. there is NO SUCH THING AS A SUICIDE SHIFT!!!! NEVER WAS!!!!
 
lets not talk about thing you clearly don't know what your talking about. this tread was clearly just a joke to make people laugh that's all. i don't want this tread to fly off track or become a harley topic most of the older people know the real or original names
jockey=suicide shift
ridged tail weld on for early sportsers=hardtail
hardtails became choppers in the early 90s
next thing you know you'll start talking about hubless wheels and chrome
 
Hard tail came to be after Harley made the soft tail , before that it was call making you frame into a rigid . I tell you I never heard the word hard tail back in the 70's
 
SUICIDE SHIFT . yes and no. the old Indians had suicide shift on the V-twins . you had to use your right hand to shift so you held the thottle open with no hand on it. single cable back then .if some thing ran out in front , you would be f--k.but later they called a tank shift by that name even jockey shifts.
