HARLEY-DAVIDSON Fat Bob Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

The beauty of the Milwaukee-Eight engine is that the Harley-cognizanti will be able to immediately tell that the Street Glide has the new 107 engine, while, to people with a more limited knowledge of the bike, will immediately know it is a Harley. The M-E takes the classic lines of the Twin Cam engine and makes them simultaneously more muscular and slimmer. While the Motor Company’s engineers say that the primary focus of the engine shapes was weight reduction (to allow for the increased weight of the new components in the engine), they also focused on maintaining and updating the Big-Twin’s iconic style.

If you are a rider on the market for a bulky, aggressive and powerful American cruiser, it doesn't get much better than the 2016 MY Harley Davidson Fat Bob. At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1690cc, Twin Cam 103 powerhouse paired to a six-speed manual transmission that produces 132 Nm of torque at 3250 rpm. Other features include a tommy gun exhaust system, an overall blacked-out finish, an aggressive front end, diagonal racing stripe graphics on the fuel tank, blacked machined aluminium slotted disc wheels, and dual front chromed headlamps with black trim rings.

The 2015 MY Harley Davidson Fat Bob is a bit of a paradox, trying to mimic the classic "bobber" style, which it succeeds, except that all of its components are big and fat. The front end is wide and fat, the handlebar is inspired from drag racers, even the headlamp is dual, but, somehow, the machine still succeeds to remind us of the classic bobbers. Performance-wise, it sports an air-cooled, 1690cc Twin Cam 103 which produces 132 Nm of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

As the name suggests, everything about the 2014 MY Harley Davidson Fat bob is, well, fat. Fat tires, fat exhaust pipes and a beefy fork. It sports an air-cooled, 1690cc Twin Cam 103 powerhouse that boasts 132 Nm at 3250 rpm. It has an edgy look, thanks to some blacked-out elements that contrast nicely with the chrome exhaust and fork. Also in the visual department, the machined aluminium slotted disc wheels give it a custom touch, as well as the diagonal tank graphics.

As we expect from House Milwaukee, it has modern techs such as ABS as standard, an H-D Smart security system, adjustable rear shocks and, unlike most of its Dyna siblings, it has dual front disc brakes, which make it safer and help it corner better.

The 2013 MY Harley Davidson Fat Bob comes with an air-cooled, 1690cc, Twin Cam 103 powerplant and a manual, six-speed Cruise Drive transmission. The engine boasts a gut-churning 135 Nm at 3000 rpm. The two-wheeler has features that set it aside from its Dyna siblings, such as the silver, aluminium slotted disc wheels, the bobtail rear fender with chrome supports, the one-piece, two-up seat, the drag-style handlebar, black mirrors and fork lowers, high-performance rear shocks and the twin chrome headlamps plus fat 130mm front and 180mm rear tire. These features make the Fat Bob one of the most unusual two-wheelers from House Milwaukee, but, in the same time, one of the most successful ones also.
