A redesigned seat and redesigned leather saddlebags. And best of all, a new High-Output Twin Cam 103 engine. We re not about to re-invent this look. But we never stop re-inventing the ride.

Then we stick with it, and use it to push the boundaries of motorcycle design ever further. Take a look at the horseshoe oil tank adorning our Softail models. It s the same one you d see on a restored dresser from the 50s, or a radical Panhead chopper from the 70s. And you ll find it right now on future Harley-Davidson models that still on the drawing board. Other companies may be content to imitate bits and pieces from our long history.

Features may include: Fat Custom StyleRecalling the "hardtail" choppers of the '60s and '70s, the Fat Boy® motorcycle keeps that heritage alive more than forty years later. This is the original "fat custom" bike laid-back and luxurious with an unmistakable profile on the road. But the nostalgic style isn't just about the confident stance, chrome and old-school detail. It's how you look riding it. It's how it feels. It's the classic, relaxed riding position. You're not just cruising. You're in charge kicked back on a throne of machined metal surveying your domain.Fat Custom Tank DetailsThis tank makes a statement with its leather tank strap, chrome side badges, and chrome speedometer and ignition switch console. The Fat Boy® model speedometer face boasts a big, bold display for the odometer and an ancillary display for gear and rpm, so all the info you need on the fly is yours at a glance.Six-Speed Cruise Drive® TransmissionYou want a ride that rumbles not begs for mercy when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening up the road ahead.Anti-Lock BrakesYou may be cruising with swagger, but you know safety counts. This sophisticated, factory-installed ABS gives 'stopping power' a double meaning. You'll turn heads with clean, streamlined design. But more importantly, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bike's going to behave when you need it.New Front Brake SystemA new front brake system on the Softail® models this year delivers a 40 percent reduction in the amount of lever force required at peak braking.

And the beefy 200mm rear tire provides a confident feeling of sure contact with the road and excellent traction under braking. And since they're from Dunlop®, you know you're wrapping your premium rollers in quality rubber.Full-Length Rider FootboardsYour boots were made for riding, in any way you see fit.
