True Harley-Davidson Fat One
I THOUGHT I would send a couple of pics of my Fat Boy for consideration in Ozbike mag. Some of the rides you have in there are spectacular! And I often thought that mine wouldn’t come close, but I thought, Fuck it! No harm in trying.
It’s a 2009 Fatty, 96 cube with S&S 583 cams and tune, extra plate H-D clutch, and heavy breather with Bassani Road Rage pipes; Arlen Ness six-degree triple trees and four-inch-over on the forks; Legend air suspension; wild one-inch Chubby 16-inch apes.
Artwork is by Custom Digital in Adelaide.
I have kept it a ‘true’ Fat Boy by not changing the OEM wheels or the floor boards and blinkers. To me, that’s what a Fatty is about. I have also tried not to over-do the chrome by keeping a balance of black and chrome on the bike.
It’s done on a budget because I don’t have the funds to do a big dollar build, but it looks good and turns heads.
Thanks for taking the time to look at it.
