Every now and then, something will come along and put everything right where it belongs.
Saddle up on the new Fat Bob and watch the world quickly take its place over the flat internally-wired handlebar on black risers. Stand alongside and your eyes go right to the tommy-gun exhaust shield on the custom pipes.

Like every bike in the family, the design centers on the power and glory of vibration-isolated Twin Cam 96 engine. It’s finished in black, with polished covers. The air cleaner cover is new, unique to the Dyna family. Choose from mid-mount or forward controls. Even the rubber takes its own path. Solid 16″ wheels front and rear, wearing an aggressive tread pattern all their own. We couldn’t help but finish up with and outrageous dual chrome headlamp.
