HARLEY-DAVIDSON Shrine Fat Boy (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Shriners were a fraternity of approximately 485,000 members from Canada, the United States, Mexico, and the Republic of Panama. In 1922, they founded a children's hospital that treated totally for free children with orthopedic problems and severe burns.

As a tribute to their deed, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley Davidson Shrine Fat Boy, a special edition model designed only for the Shriners. It had a unique color scheme and special graphics, but other than that, it was identical to the Original Fat Boy model.

As standard, the bike was fitted with a round headlight with a chromed housing, a wide handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, a dual chromed exhaust system, valanced fenders, and bullet hole full disc aluminum wheels.

In the performance department, the 2011 Harley-Davidson Shrine Fat Boy had its soul brought to life by a 1,584cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering smooth throttle response, fast acceleration, and 127 Nm (94 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.

The engine power was handled by a six-speed Cruise Drive manual transmission and sent to the rear wheel through a final belt drive.

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