2012 Harley-Davidson® Softail® Fat Boy® Lo

The 2012 Harley-Davidson® Fat Boy® Lo FLSTFB has all the features you expect on custom Harley® motorcycles. Hearkening to the 'hardtail' choppers of the '60s and '70s, the Fat Boy® Lo is one of the custom Harley® motorcycles that keeps that heritage alive more than forty years later. And this special edition shows a darker side of the original 'fat custom' bike--laid-back and blacked-out with an unmistakable profile on the road. New for 2012, the Harley® Fat Boy® Lo features a powerful, new larger air-cooled Twin Cam 103™ Harley® engine with 6 speed cruise drive tranmission, providing more performance power for passing, hill-climbing, and riding with passenger and luggage.

Hearkening to the "hardtail" choppers of the '60s and '70s, the Fat Boy® Lo model keeps that heritage alive more than forty years later. And this special edition shows a darker side of the original "fat custom" bike--laid-back and blacked-out with an unmistakable profile on the road. But the nostalgic style isn't just about the confident stance, paint and old-school detail. It's how you look riding it. It's how it feels. It's the classic, relaxed riding position that speaks volumes. You're not just cruising. You're in charge--kicked back on a throne of machined metal surveying your domain.

Big in all the right places. The 17-inch wheels of black, bullet-hole, disc-cast aluminum definitely make an impression--especially with rubber 140mm wide in front and a beefy 200mm in back. And check out the chopsticks up front--fat front fork behind the huge, gorgeous headlamp. The handlebars are wide, giant stainless steel with bare-knuckle satin chrome risers. It's a lot of fat in one tight bike. Definitely meaty. Wide. Big-boned. A bruiser. Call it what you want. Just admit that you want it.

You might say black is the new chrome when it comes to the Fat Boy® Lo model. There's black denim finish on the frame, swingarm, front shock covers, derby cover, horn cover, coil cover, oil tank and air cleaner cover. Black, bullet-hole disc-cast aluminum wheels with black centers and matching outer rims. Flat-black exhaust shields on the satin chrome shotgun exhaust. Gloss black half-moon footboards. Even blacked-out mirrors and headlamp. And black powder-coating on the powertrain with satin chrome accents finishes the job. With all this paint, you won't just be riding fat and low. You'll be throwing shade all the way.

If you want a comfortable bike but love that rigid-suspension look, you've come to the right bike. We've kept all the modern comforts where they belong--below the surface of a rad, vintage-looking bike. You get the classic lines of a vintage "hardtail" frame with the horizontal rear shocks hidden in the guts. It's a signature rigid look, and you'll only find it on a Softail® model.

This tank makes a statement with its leather tank strap, satin chrome side badges, and satin chrome speedometer and ignition switch console. The speedo face boasts a big, bold display for the odometer and an ancillary display for gear and rpm, so all the info you need on the fly is yours at a glance.
