The all-new FatBoy (FLFBS) is one fat and fun motorcycle. I took this video on the sales floor a few hours ago and went through the benefits of some of the new features on the motorcycle in a virtual 360 degree tour.
These are the widest tires to ever be put on a FatBoy. 240mm in the rear and 160mm in the front. The front tires are even wider than the rear tires of some touring models! The solid disk wheels made a return to this model after a 10 year hiatus. These new polished aluminum wheels are called the "Lakester Solid Disc Wheels".
The frame is lighter and stiffer but the ride is not. It is a very smooth and comfortable ride. The new mono shock rear suspension is the heart and soul of the Softail line up and it can be adjusted with an external rear shock pre-load adjustment. It's located conveniently where the oil tank used to be just below the seat.
The dash on the tank also received a re-design this year as well. The analog speedometer, digital speedometer and tachometer are condensed into one easy-to read gauge on the top of the tank. The tank and dash also feature satin chrome finishes throughout.
The freight-train sized headlight is still front and center and comes standard (much like the other Softails) with an LED Daymaker headlamp.
The FatBoy comes in both a 107" and 114" engine. The bike in this video features the later. With 119 ft. lbs of torque, you have to be sure to hold on for the duration of your ride. Take one for a test ride today at Hot Metal Harley-Davidson. 1122 Lebanon Road, West Mifflin PA, 15122.
