The private seller offers for sale this 2017 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy FLSTF, powered by a 1,690 cc V-twin engine. Finished in a striking two-tone of gold and black, with the trademark chrome glinting from every angle, this example has led a remarkably sheltered life: it was kept as a showroom display machine and the odometer shows just 10 km. According to the seller, the motorcycle was day-registered for EU4 emissions compliance and has since been prepared for its next owner with a fresh Harley-Davidson inspection, a mechanical overhaul, new fluids throughout and a brand-new set of tyres. A carefully chosen set of upgrades gives it a character of its own. The KessTech variable electronic exhaust system with Trickbox lets the rider dial in the sound of the big V-twin at the push of a button, while custom brass forward controls, matching brass grips and slim LED front turn signals add a warm, bespoke accent that sits beautifully against the gold paintwork. Better still, all original factory parts are included with the sale, so the next owner has the freedom to keep the bike as it is or return it to factory specification. With virtually no distance covered and a desirable spec, this Fat Boy presents in good condition and offers a rare opportunity to own one of the final Twin Cam Softails in an almost unridden state.
Few motorcycles have defined an era quite like the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy. Introduced for the 1990 model year and shaped by Willie G. Davidson and Louie Netz, it took the clean lines of the Softail chassis, with its rear suspension cleverly hidden beneath the frame to mimic a classic hardtail, and gave them a bold, muscular stance. Solid disc wheels, wide fenders, a broad front end and staggered shotgun exhausts created a silhouette that was instantly recognisable, and its starring role on the big screen in Terminator 2 turned it into a pop culture icon almost overnight. The 2017 model year holds a special place in that story. It was the last year in which the Fat Boy was powered by the Twin Cam engine, in its 103B form: 1,690 cc of air-cooled, counterbalanced V-twin, tuned for the deep, relaxed torque and unmistakable potato-potato rhythm that riders associate with the Milwaukee name. For 2018, Harley-Davidson introduced an all-new Softail platform with the Milwaukee-Eight engine, which makes the 2017 Fat Boy the closing chapter of the Twin Cam Softail line. That status, combined with the model’s timeless design and enduring popularity, explains why late Twin Cam Fat Boys with low mileage are so sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
