Brand new face of an all-American icon, now assembled in India
The old Fat Boy was characterised by its wide stance that leant itself to enormous road presence. That design ethos still continues to be a strong part of the 2018 Fat Boy’s aura as it comes with a wide body and those humongous 18-inch solid Lakester rims. The bike sits low with a saddle height of 675mm, which when combined with the wide raised handlebars and those floor boards makes for a nice and cushy riding posture that’s typical of the Fat Boy. The wheel arches are wide for obvious reasons and gets theme appropriate pin striping. So does the petrol tank. To complete the look, the tank is embellished with the original H-D emblem. The tank mounted console also bears the chromium elements that are prominent on the mechanicals. Plus, you get the usual Softail standard tech like the LED headlamps, steering column mounted USB charging port, keyless ignition, security system and ABS. There is still no lockable fuel filler cap as standard equipment and that will be the first accessory Indian buyers will spring for.
