presentation of the 1745 SOFTAIL FAT BOB FXFB 2019
The Fat Bob has always been the pirate of the Harley range. A rebel, a right-hook eater, a Talisker stomper for those fond of provocation. A character trait that now extends to the entire model, from the bottom of the connecting rods to the end of the frame.
Because everything has changed: engine, chassis, silhouette! The Fat Bob is not what it used to be; it expresses more, and punches its detractors in the face.
let's start with THE shock of this new Bob. It's no longer a Dyna, but a Softail. It's a completely new generation, swapping its dual side-shock frame for the new deceptively rigid one. Does it betray its culture? Not really, as its surly spirit remains. And by taking over the new Softail frame, it benefits from seriously increased rigidity. Not to mention another major improvement in damping. Like the rest of the Softail range, it features a new, more efficient shock absorber under the seat, with a practical adjustment knob just behind the right calf.
From the front, the Softail Fat Bob threatens, and not just a little. Courage seems to be required to grasp its front drivetrain. The inverted fork is a guarantee of efficiency and rigor, holding a sturdy front rim shod with a 150 mm wide tire. With a nice set of brake discs and a truncated mudguard, the wheel feels like a single unit, ready to crush cinder blocks and sneakers.
this major evolution is accompanied by a drastic weight loss. 15 kilos have been shed in the process.

a mouthful, strong, taut, must have the muscle bandaged and worthy of its ilk. The Milwaukee Eight is the perfect answer. In our opinion, the 114 version is the one that best suits it. The Fat Bob is available with two versions of the big twin. Standard with the 107 and its 1745 cm3, offering almost 14.8 mkg of torque; or optional with 123 cm3 and 1 mkg more. Full of trunk space, calming its vibrations at idle, and tinged with modernism with its 2 spark plugs and 4 valves per cylinder, the M8 engine has not forgotten its fundamentals, with a very American depth of operation, dug out of Wisconsin fever.
what an entrance! For its conversion to Softail format and the appropriation of the Big Bloc M8, the Fat Bob has pulverized its identity towards an authentic demonstration of strength. A grizzly of the road, for lovers of spicy food and mechanical subtraction.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 5 reviews
Handling, comfort, acceleration (it's the 107 engine with 14.7 mk of torque. But be careful, it's not an MT09)
I use my bike for commuting to work, for weekend rides, for roadtrips, in short, whenever I get the chance
Dunlop tires are fine, but as soon as it rains, it's all downhill... So be careful
As for the rest, I haven't tried the 114. The 107 seems to me to be much more suited to the Harley spirit... Quiet cruising, ground clearance that allows you to climb hills without grinding your teeth at every bend, good pick-up, torque that's always there... just heaven
On the other hand, change that horrible plate holder and replace those rototiller mufflers with Vance and Hines. Then you'll have a beautiful bike Rating : 5/5 Respond to Titi13
