In 1995, the American motorcycle maker launched the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, a cruiser machine that debuted in 1990. The bike was also known as the FLSTF from 1990 to 2017, and from 2018, the bikes were coded as FLFB and FLFBS.
The 1995 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy featured the same design and technical characteristics as previous models without any significant changes. The bike was known for its wide and muscular appearance, distinctive design, and powerful engine.
In the appearance department, the bike had a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed housing, a wide dual seat, a dual exhaust system, and full disc wheels.
At the bike's core was a powerful 1,337cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine with a 38 mm Keihin carburetor delivering fuel to both pistons. As for the power figures, the bike boasted 67 hp with a peak at 6,000 rpm and 97 nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 2,350 rpm.
The engine power was handled by a five-speed manual transmission with a cable-operated dry multiple discs clutch, spinning the rear wheel through a final belt drive.
The braking and suspension systems were carried out from previous models without any changes. The front end had a 39 mm telescopic fork and a 292 mm disc with a four-piston caliper. The rear end packed dual concealed spring preload-adjustable shock absorbers for suspension and a 292 mm disc with a four-piston caliper for stopping power.
