If there is one motorcycle in the Harley-Davidson air-cooled model line that truly deserves the term „Muscle Bike“, it would be the FXDF „Fat Bob“. Compact in style, one of the lowest riding positions of all Big Twins, looking „ready to go“ even when parked – and the trademark dual headlight, which makes this model easy to pinpoint in any Harley crowd. It‘s only a small but dedicated clientele that is asking for this model – most of which usually add plenty of displacement or horsepower to the „Macho Machine“. For years, basically since 2006, the „Fat Bob“ has been overshadowed by the overwhelming success of the FXDX „Street Bob“ – which has certainly been sold in greater numbers – but there is quite a number of FXDF‘s bobbing around. Enough to have a 2012 model year bike customized for the 2015 „Bolt On And Ride“ bike pool of Custom Chrome Europe: Wheel manufacturer TTS took on the task and completely turned around the character of the „Macho Bike“!
