HARLEY-DAVIDSON 15th Anniversary Fat Boy (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

It all started in 1990 when the American manufacturer launched their first Harley-Davidson Fat Boy. The Fat Boy, also known as FLSTF, was a cruiser motorcycle with a muscular appearance and a powerful engine.

In 2005, to commemorate the 15th birthday of the Fat Boy, the maker launched a special edition model named Harley-Davidson's 15th Anniversary Fat Boy, fitted with a Screamin' Eagle engine, special paint, and custom wheels.

The maker installed a fuel-injected 1,550cc Twin Cam 95 engine at the bike's core that delivered 130 Nm (96 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm. The full disc wheels were chromed to give a more custom look.

In addition, the 15th Anniversary Fat Boy featured unique custom treatments, including a 24K gold-plated tank emblem, a Badlander-inspired double-stitched seam seat, a gold striped air cleaner cover, a time cover, and a switch plate.

Besides the custom treatment, the bike remained unchanged, packing the same features, such as a large headlight with a chromed housing, teardrop-style fuel tank, valanced fenders, disc wheels, and a dual chromed exhaust system.

The bike's suspension was retained from previous models, including a 41 mm telescopic fork with 130 mm wheel travel on the front and a horizontal-mounted hidden shock absorber on the rear with 109 mm wheel travel.

The braking system was also retained from previous machines, packing the same 292 mm disc and four-piston caliper both front and rear.
