presentation of the 1584 FLSTFB Fat Boy Special 2011

the Fat Boy is certainly one of the best-known and most emblematic models in the Harley-Davidson range. 20 years after its appearance, a twin brother appeared in 2010, the Fat Boy Special. Presented as a novelty, this model is more like a Fat Boy dipped in a tub of black paint, with only the exhaust escaping from the drowning. In fact, there's a bit more to this big softail that's trying to join the Dark Customs family. In terms of finish and refinement details, the Twin Cam 96B houses black between its cooling fins, but lets chrome invade the rest of the mechanics. The stainless-steel "mini beach" handlebars are narrower but larger in diameter, housing the electrical cables inside. The full rims are also covered in black, except for the rim. Same treatment for the headlight, exhausts and fork, dark as night, then finished off with a touch of stainless steel. The seat has been hollowed out by 10 mm, allowing the new handlebars to merge with the bike (according to the manufacturer). This Fat Boy Special is not so much a new model as a 'trendy' version. For 2011, ABS is now standard.
