With dual headlamps blazing
and chunky tires rolling out a distinctive footprint, the new
Harley-Davidson FXDF Dyna Fat Bob aims to occupy a wide patch of pavement.
Named for the iconic fuel tank shape that has defined a generation of
massive Harley-Davidson factory customs, the Fat Bob combines signature Dyna
performance with a new profile that communicates cool authority.
The dual four-inch headlamps, framed by 49 mm forks and new polished
aluminum triple-clamps, are the most obvious indication that the Fat Bob is
a new breed of Dyna. But it’s a big 130 mm front tire on a 16-inch by
3.5-inch slotted cast aluminum wheel that really leads the way. A new,
aggressive tread design exaggerates the tire’s chubby profile. Black painted
fork lowers highlight the silver wheels and dual disc brakes, and match
black risers holding a V-shaped drag bar. This is a front end that makes a
bold statement.
The Fat Bob is powered by a Twin Cam 96 engine that pounds out 92 ft.-lbs.
of torque through a 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. The
black-and-polished Twin Cam 96 powertrain breathes through a distinctive new
airbox cover and exhales through the wild new Tommy Gun exhaust system, a
2-1-2 configuration that snakes the rear pipe forward and around the engine
timing cover to merge with the front pipe. The pipes then split and dump
into staggered dual mufflers. A slotted exhaust shield gives the system its
name.
Above the engine resides the famous 5.1-gallon Fat Bob fuel tank adorned
with a new medallion and chrome, low profile fuel tank console. The Fat Bob
can be ordered from the factory with a choice of forward foot controls or
mid-mount foot controls, to suit rider preference or stature. A new two-up
seat shape combined with the drag bars to put the rider in a position that’s
nonchalant cool. Seat height is just 26.1 inches.
A beefy 180 mm rear tire with an aggressive tread pattern wraps a 16-inch by
five-inch slotted aluminum rear wheel, a combination that gives the Fat Bob
a substantial rear profile but also preserves the great handling qualities
of the Dyna chassis. A new wide Bobtail fender covers the rear tire, and the
rear shock absorber springs are concealed with chrome “full metal jacket”
covers.
