HARLEY-DAVIDSON Fat Boy Lo (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

Alongside the original 2012 Fat Boy model, the American motorcycle maker launched the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo, an updated version of the standard machine with a lowered suspension, lower seat, and a blacked-out appearance.

In the appearance department, the Fat Boy Lo packed blacked-out elements, including a round headlight, fuel tank, fenders, fork covers, frame, exhaust pipes with brushed mufflers, and engine covers.

In addition, the bike had a black powder-coated engine with polished head covers and fines, while it rolled on a pair of bullet-hole blacked-out full disc wheels with polished rims. The wheels were dressed in a 200 mm wide tire on the rear and a 140 mm tire on the front.

Besides the dark appearance, the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo was identical to the original Fat Boy, packing the same classic-styled features, engine, and performance characteristics.

In the power department, the 2012 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo took its muscles from a 1,690cc air-cooled V-twin engine with an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system, delivering smooth power, fast acceleration, excellent throttle response, and 134 Nm (99 lb-ft) torque with a maximum peak force at 3,000 rpm.

The braking system was carried over from the original Fat Boy model, including a four-piston caliper with a 292 mm disc on the front wheel and a 292 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
