2017 Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy FLSTF, When Willie G. Davidson rode the Fat Boy model into Bike Week the first time, let s just say it stopped traffic. No one had ever seen a factory custom motorcycle with this much visual impact before. The look was pure Harley, yet totally new. In the years since, the Fat Boy hasn t let up. From the chrome of the solid disc wheels, to the muscular lines of the new High Output Twin Cam 103B engine to the curve of its distinctive rear fender, this machine is built to make an impact. Ride one and you ll understand. Available in: Vivid Black, Velocity Red Sunglo, Olive Gold, Superior Blue/Billet Silver, and Black Hills Gold/Black Quartz Features: New High Output Twin Cam 103B Engine New Electronic Throttle Control Fat Custom Style Pure Harley-Davidson Styling New Front Brake System Fat Dunlop Tires Full-Length Rider Footboards These big-twin motorcycles capitalize on Harley's strong value on tradition. With the rear-wheel suspension hidden under the transmission, they are visually similar to the 'hardtail' choppers popular in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as from their own earlier history. In keeping with that tradition, Harley offers Softail models with 'Springer' front ends and 'Heritage' styling that incorporate design cues from throughout their history. The Softail models do not have rubber-mounted engines. This led to more vibration in Evolution-engined Softails than in rubber-mounted Touring or Dyna models with Evolution engines. To compensate for this, current Softail models use a counterbalanced version of the Twin Cam engine instead of the regular Twin Cam engine used in the Touring and Dyna models.
