2012 Harley-Davidson FXDF Dyna Fat Bob Review
An over-sized ride, this beast tears up the road with big power and unmistakable attitude.
With forward-mounted foot controls, drag-style handlebar and a sleek, two-up seat, the Fat Bob® motorcycle creates an aggressive riding position that commands respect from the road. Truly fat from start to finish, the Fat Bob features a 130 mm wide front tire with a gnarly, robust tread pattern, emphasizing the aggressive character of the “fat custom” ride. Out back, the high-performance, chrome-covered, coil-over shocks showcase the beefy 180 mm wide rear tire and perfectly complement the Fat Bob’s outstanding handling attributes.
Top it off with the powerful Twin Cam 103™ engine and optional Anit-lock Braking System (ABS).
