HARLEY-DAVIDSON Fat Boy Special 110th Anniversary (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

Harley-Davidson was an American motorcycle manufacturer headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. H-D was founded in 1903 and was one of the two major motorcycle manufacturers that survived the Great Depression, along with their historical rivals, Indian Motorcycles.

In 1990, the American manufacturer launched a new line of cruiser machines under the Fat Boy designation. The bike was also known as the FLSTF from 1990 to 2017 and, from 2018, was coded as FLFB and FLFBS.

A false etymology claimed that the Fat Boy's name came from a contraction of the Fat Man and Little Boy atomic bombs dropped on Japan in WW2. In 2015, the H-D's vice president confirmed that the name was descriptive and came from the wide appearance of the bike when viewed head-on.

Over several years, in 2013, after 110 years of existence, the American motorcycle maker launched the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Special 110th Anniversary, a special edition machine limited to 1,750 units worldwide.

The bike came in an exclusive Anniversary Vintage Bronze with Anniversary Vintage Black color scheme, with solid bronze tank medallions, a solid bronze air cleaner cover ring, a chromed time cover, a chromed derby cover with a forged solid bronze trim ring, and a serialization badge.

In other departments, the bike was identical to the standard Fat Boy model, powered by a 1,690cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine with a fuel injection system, delivering smooth power and 132 Nm (97 lb-ft) torque at 3,250 rpm.
