Description

The Harley Fat Boy 30th Anniversary motorcycle celebrates the three-decade impact of the original model with a bold reinterpretation executed in dark finishes paired with a single colour option, Vivid Black.  

The cast aluminium Lakester wheels are finished in Satin Black with machined highlights. The blacked-out Milwaukee-Eight 114 powertrain is finished with engine covers in gloss black and subtle bronze-tone lower rocker covers and timer cover script. The exhaust finished in a Black Onyx, a durable physical vapor deposition paint finish that reveals the underlying chrome in bright light. 

A Vivid Black headlamp nacelle, handlebar and controls complete the overall dark look that is distinctive from the regular production model. A new bronze-tone waterslide Fat Boy tank logo complements the black finish and other bronze details that set the Fat Boy 30th Anniversary apart from the regular-production model. 

Based on the Harley-Davidson® Softail® platform launched in 2018, the Harley Fat Boy motorcycle re-defines an icon with power and presence. The entire Fat Boy front end is massive and topped with an LED headlamp in a newly shaped nacelle. The Lakester disc aluminium wheels update that defining Fat Boy style point. The 160mm front tire is balanced by a signature 240mm rear tire that delivers a factory custom look. 

The Softail frame and suspension combine to form a chassis that’s stiff and lightweight, for agility and performance that will exceed the expectations of the most-demanding cruiser riders. The mono-shock rear suspension preserves the signature “hard tail” lines of the Softail chassis and places a single coil-over shock absorber below the seat at the optimal angle for a smooth ride and outstanding handling. Remote hydraulic pre-load adjustment is accomplished by simply turning a knob located below the seat, making it easy to dial in the ride and handling for rider weight. 

The Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-Twin engine, the most-powerful Softail powertrain option, delivers inspiring performance and classic Harley-Davidson look-sound-feel. The rigid-mounted powertrain further enhances chassis stiffness. Dual engine counter-balancers are tuned to reduce primary vibration at idle speed. 

The Bike 

As with the BMW E46 M3 currently listed in our auctions, this particular Harley Fat Boy comes to market as its owner, who had all intentions of keeping it forever, has decided to travel the world later in the year. Unfortunately, this means he will have nowhere to store the bike hence you seeing it here. 

This very special bike has already become collectable and will only get more and more so as time goes by.  Numbered 1002 of 2500 globally there can’t be very many of these in the UK. 

Originally purchased from the first owner with 1 mile on the odometer, it now has only 113 miles on the clock.   

Our vendor has explained that the urge to ride it is just too strong and along with satisfying that urge he also wants to keep the bike from needing recommissioning at a later date.  This has driven him to periodically ride it “around the block, which is around 8 miles”.  Enough to warm the bike up fully and get the fluids flowing in all the right places. 

The bike was supplied new and will be passed onto its new custodian with virtually all the OEM extras available, all factory fitted prior to delivery: 

• S&S factory fitted Exhaust 
• Willie G Grips
• Willie G Fuel Cap 
• Pillion Sissy Bar 
• Pillion Footrests 
• Pillion Seat 
• OEM Bike Cover from Harley Custom Vehicle Operations 
• OEM Lanyard 
• OEM Polish Kit 

The Harley Fat Boy will also be supplied with one key, the V5, all the literature and books alongside the original manuals etc.  Our vendor will even throw in the battery optimiser it has been connected to since it’s purchase. 

As you can see there was no expense spared at purchase and it shows with the bike looking absolutely stunning. The exhaust and other mods were carried out by Harley Custom Vehicle Operations. 

Our view 

It is very rare to see an immaculate collectable bike with what may be accounted as delivery miles on the clock, especially a special edition from a world-famous brand such as Harley Davidson. 

Already changing hands for more than their original purchase price we expect this Fat Boy to do exactly the same but who cares when you are buying a future classic that will become even more collectable than it already is and will appreciate whilst you appreciate it sitting in your collection (or front room!). 

A virtually new bike that has classic collectable status already so get bidding early and don’t miss this extremely rare opportunity to own a future classic.
