History and development[edit]

Fatboy2002 harley davidson fatboy tire sizes

The Fat Boy's frame is derived from the 1984 'Softail' which appears to have a rigid hardtail chassis but which in fact has a swinging arm with concealed springs that was originally designed in a Missouri garage in the 1970's by 'a mechanical engineer' named Bill Davis and later Patented in 1976.[5]Willie G the grandson of Harley-Davidson co-founder William A. Davidson originally turned down engineer Bill Davis' softail concept; but the company later relented, buying the rights and designing its own softail frame in-house.[6]

  • After 1994, the exhaust was made seamless.
  • In 1996 the master cylinder and switch gear were revised.
  • In 1999 a new 1,450 cc (88 cu in) Twin Cam engine for the 2000 model year was used. This necessitated a bespoke engine variant and changes to the frame.
  • In 2002 bullet-style indicators, alarm and immobilizer were added.[7]
  • In 2005 a 15th Anniversary version was sold, with a 'Screamin' Eagle' engine, special paint and custom wheels.[7]
  • In 2007 the displacement was increased to 1,584 cc (96.7 cu in)[7] and the transmission changed six speeds.[6]
  • The 2010 'Fat Boy Lo' FLSTFB had the lowest ever Harley seat height.[2]
  • In 2012 the Fat Boy received the new 1,690 cc (103 cu in) Twin Cam engine along with the rest of the softail range*

The 2018 Fat Boys have a redesigned softail frame with Showa front and rear suspension and new twin-counterbalanced Milwaukee-Eight engines. The two 2018 variants comprise:

  • The FLFB 1,746 cc (107 cu in) with 109 lb⋅ft (148 N⋅m), and
  • The FLFBS 1,868 cc (114 cu in) with 119 lb⋅ft (161 N⋅m)[8]

The 2018 Softail frame has a modified swingarm with a Showa rear monoshock suspension mounted beneath the seat (replacing earlier twin shocks). So as to provide a more comfortable and better controlled ride with improved handling, the front forks contain a Showa 'Dual Bending Valve' (SDBV),[9] a cartridge simulator using two valves to control compression and rebound damping, giving linear damping characteristics proportional to fork stroke speed. Harley-Davidson claims the 2018 chassis is stiffer and lighter than earlier Softail and Dyna platforms.[10] Further upgrades include an LED headlight and 18-inch “Lakester” rims, with wider 160mm front and 240mm rear rubber.[11][12]

For 2020, the Fat Boy is only available with the Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine. Harley-Davidson also produced a 30th Anniversary edition for 2020. [13]

It is one of Harley-Davidson's best selling models, and has appeared prominently in a number of TV shows and movies.[3] The Fat Boy earned a place in American pop culture after appearances in the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day. One of the motorcycles used in Terminator 2 is displayed at the Harley-Davidson Museum. It appeared again in Terminator Genisys.[2][14][15][16]
