Why do the forks on your Harley softail bottom out?

Forks on a Harley Softail may bottom out due to several factors, such as insufficient suspension travel, worn-out fork seals, or inadequate spring preload. Overloading the bike or using incorrect fork oil can also contribute to this issue. Additionally, if the bike has been modified or if the suspension components are not properly matched to the rider's weight and riding style, it can lead to bottoming out. Regular maintenance and adjustments can help mitigate this problem.
