Softail shocks are under the transmission. They sit horizontally and are inline with the chassis. Unlike the shocks on all other Harleys, when you hit a bump on a Softail, the shocks get longer instead of shorter.

Your main problem is likely a wheel that is out of balance. A secondary problem is worn out shocks. Have the front wheels professionally balanced and see if the problem goes away. If not completely gone, replace your front shocks.

What causes a lot of bouncing in the front while slowly driving over a speed bump?
Typically, it's either shocks or struts, depending on which your car has. Shocks/struts absorb the resonance energy of springs. The PURPOSE of the shock/strut is to stop the wheel from bouncing when you hit a bump. Without the shocks, the wheel would continue to bounce, sort of like a basketball. When the shocks work properly the wheel is "dampened", keeping the tire in contact with the road and giving better control. The bonus is, the car doesn't bounce, the way you're describing. The good news is, they're not terribly expensive and they're usually not impossible for the DIY'er. But if you prefer, it's not terribly expensive, as auto repairs go. If you have someone do the shocks, have them check other suspension components at the same time. No point in replacing just the shocks if the whole front end is worn out.
How do you know if you need new shocks?
Because when you hit a bump, instead of bouncing over it you will hear a bang as the shock bottoms out. They aren't too difficult to replace really. Big bolt top and bottom you'll need a half inch socket drive and not much else.
Can I eliminate rear springs on my PT Cruiser with just shocks?
No, the suspension needs springs, the shocks are there to damp the springs so the car does not bounce up and down after it hits a bump.
