2008 Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy
WE FATTENED IT UP QUITE A BIT LAST YEAR, AND IT CONTINUES TO ROLL AS THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP OF FUNKY CUSTOM.
Its front fender shows off the broad 17” front wheel. Its custom skirted back fender sits above a 200mm rear tire. The wheels are solid slabs of cast aluminum, ringed with .50-caliber, bullet-sized holes. Everything about this motorcycle commands space on the road. The seat is low and wide. The thick 96-cubic-inch helping of Harley-Davidson® V-Twin engine is served up in chrome and black. There’s a shotgun exhaust. The Fat Boy® is what it’s always been and more. One big-boned knockout
