2010 Harley Davidson Fat Boy Special Announced For The UK
2010 Harley Davidson Fat Boy Special – Undeniable Street Presence
Named the FLSTFB Fat Boy Lo in the USA, the 2010 Fat Boy Special motorcycle is a new take on one of the greatest hits to ever roll out of the Harley-Davidson design studio. Darker and lower than that original icon of fat-custom style, the Fat Boy Special retains the bold presence of the Fat Boy while offering a fresh interpretation of the motorcycle that still defines the segment.
Dressed in satin chrome and denim black, Fat Boy Special features a reshaped seat and handlebars that place its rider “in” the motorcycle. The half-moon footboards, black wheels and leather tank panel help the Fat Boy Special rock to a singular, fat-custom beat.
The Fat Boy Special is a Harley-Davidson Softail motorcycle with a rearsuspension design that mimics the lines of a vintage hardtail frame, but offers the comfort of modern suspension that is hidden under the chassis. A horseshoe oil tank located below the seat, forward foot controls or foot boards, and the classic 19.7 litre Fat Bob® fuel tank are notable styling details of each Softail model.
A counter-balanced Twin Cam 96B V-Twin powertrain, rigid-mounted in the frame, powers the Fat Boy Special. The rigid powertrain allows tight packaging of the engine within the frame. Rated at 125Nm. of peak torque at 3500 rpm, the engine features Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) and is finished in black powdercoat with bright machined highlights on the cylinder fins, and satin-chrome engine and primary drive covers. The 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission features a new helical-cut fifth gear cog for smooth operation.
