We are talking about the original Fat Boy here and not the Fat Boy Special that was recently launched in India. The original Fat Boy looks like no Harley-Davidson that has come before it. Originally called "The Gray Ghost", the motorcycle was offered only in one colour and it is said that the bike is inspired by a WWII B-29 Bomber, one of the largest combat airplanes that served during the World War II.
The motorcycle gets a unique design and is laden with thick chrome and full of features. The Fat Boy features a wide FLH-style handlebar, a hand-laced leather tank panel, a textured leather seat insert, hidden wiring, custom metal fenders, solid disc wheels, floorboards and a shotgun-style dual exhaust system.
The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy is powered by a Twin Cam 103™ 1690cc engine that produces 134Nm of torque. This mill comes mated to a six speed transmission. The motorcycle boasts of a large fuel tank that holds five gallons of fuel.
With the fat custom bike look, the Fat Boy keeps the heritage of the American choppers from the '60s and '70s alive. The famous motorcycle has appeared in many Hollywood movies like The Sopranos, Bulworth, and Renegade. It was used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator II, John Travolta and Tim Allen in Wild Hogs as well.
Harley-Davidson Fat Boy [2016-2017] is available in the following colours in India.

Truly a superbike. The rides are phenomenally comfortable, be it solo or with a pillion. Its a head turner with a roaring exhaust. A bit on the heavier side for dense traffic areas but on open highways its like a feather in your hands. Never seen this many phones come out of car windows to get a video or a pic of the bike in motion, the bike gives you a feel of a celebrity.

Tips for other riders
Always wear your safety gear while riding. After a wash air dry the bike completely to avoid corrosion of steel components. Once a month check Air pressure in tyres.

This is the best bike i have ever driven, one of the best performance, a bright experience to drive such a huge motor cycle, i think this is the best for occasional use and long drive use.
Just one request that servicing has to decrease the price chart, its too costly.....
Thanks for all bike that great organisation have discovered and invented...Hope will be done in future as well..Thanks and all the best for future endurance. And great organisation..
