Harley-Davidson 1450 SOFTAIL FAT BOY FLSTF 2002

Cruiser

this is certainly the bike that most epitomizes the Harley spirit. Introduced in the 90s, the "big" bike is a hymn to the rebellious post-war era. As its name suggests, everything about the Fat Boy is imposing: wheels (beautiful full rims), forks, headlight unit - a real man's bike. It's also legendary in the movies: it's no less than Schwarzeneger's mount in Terminator 2.

For ride and comfort, wide and low handlebars (like the footrests), seating flush with the cylinder heads; for the eye, authentic aesthetics and gleaming chrome - a true Softail with its false rigid frame and a pure Harley. The arrival of the Twin Cam 88 B is a real plus for the machine. More torque and power, plus smoother vibrations thanks to a balancer. That wasn't enough, however, as this Milwaukee beauty has been given a more rigorous handling package. New rear suspension, more rigorous over small bumps, and better brakes significantly improve handling. Docile thanks to its wide handlebars, it's important to be reasonable, as too much angle quickly files the wide running boards.

Crono67 Model 2001

I owned the first one in 1990 in 1340 I kept it 4 years and resold it because of a birth I always regretted this sale then 32 years later I found the same one in 1450 with carburetor and the pleasure is always as in the first day a splendid motor bike an object to look at and to contemplate and always as much pleasure to its handlebar for me the most beautiful Harley of the range especially in its old version. 06/09/2023 22:29 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Crono67

Rico Model 2006

Back to basic! I've had this bike for a few months now, and it's like love at first sight. I've had bigger ones, with more torque, etc., but this Fat Boy brings me back to my passion for motorcycling, the pleasure of simply riding! It's typical, it's the exact image I have of a Harley, simple, noisy, torquey, even furious, in short, it's a real pleasure to ride! 12/08/2022 10:19 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Rico

Leo Model 2006

So, yes, it's not a must-have custom bike in terms of power, curves or comfort, but in the Harley family it's obvious that it's the last series to be carbureted, and that's what gives it its unmistakable character
The use of this machine makes you addicted to an engine that delivers a bewitching song and rhythm
You understand from the outset that this will be a rather intimate relationship, and that the details will be known only to you.

Plaisir tout simplement

Bridage d'un Fat Boy pour A2 impossible ?

Carlo Model 2002

Why can't I bridle my fat boy? It's an injection. I just got my license and my wife wanted to please me but she didn't know about the new law. I'm 56 years old with a 50% bonus and I've been a truck driver for 30 years with zero accidents 04/25/2018 19:19 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Carlo

I'm very happy with my 2004 fatboy 1450 carburetor. It's a real toy and I'm enjoying it. It's in its prime and gives me nothing but satisfaction. Harley lovers, give it a try and you'll hear from me. I'll be in touch. 03/28/2014 08:51 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Danny

Danny Model 2003

It's a great bike: a jewel with great looks and a lot of fun to ride. It's still my favorite Harley, especially with a carburetor. 01/29/2014 18:34 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Danny
