Specs & Description

In 1989, Harley-Davidson took a prototype custom bike to Daytona Bike Week. A pumped up soft-tail with solid wheels, wide bars, a shotgun exhaust and finished in matte grey, the bike was reputed to be styled on the B-29 bomber (used to deliver the 'Fat Man' A-Bomb on Hiroshima) and was fittingly given then title of 'Fat Boy'. Others argued that it took its styling cues from a steamroller, echoed in its wide track and exaggerated tyres. While the inspiration was unclear, what was immediately obvious was that Harley- Davidson had created a new style of bike and that people wanted a piece of the action. The bike was put straight into production and when it hit the dealers in 1990 demand quickly outstripped supply. When, in 1991, the Fat Boy made a starring appearance alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the hugely popular 'Terminator' sequel, the bad-boy status of this now iconic bike was assured. 30 years later and, having only receiving one major update, the Harley-Davison FLFBS Fat Boy still turns heads and delivers the kind of attitude that only American heavy-metal can.
