2015 Harley-Davidson Softail

Fat, dark and strong, this down-and-dirty version of the custom icon is the big dog on the road.

• Fat Custom Style

Recalling the hardtail choppers of the 60s and 70s, the Fat Boy Lo model keeps that heritage alive more than forty years later. It shows a darker side of the original fat custom bikelaid-back and blacked-out with an unmistakable profile on the road. But the nostalgic style isnt just about the confident stance, paint and old-school detail. Its how you look riding it. Its how it feels. Its the classic, relaxed riding position that speaks volumes. Youre not just cruising. Youre in chargekicked back on a throne of machined metal surveying your domain.

• Pure Harley-Davidson Styling

Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 103 engine and theres no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you wont find from any other motorcycle company. Black powder-coated heads and cylinders are highlighted by machined cooling fin tips and satin chrome rocker covers. Its a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and coversthe Twin Cam 103 engine makes an ironclad statement about holding on to whats right and staying true to what satisfies.

• H-D Smart Security System (Optional)

The optional factory-installed next-generation security system features a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicles electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. Its this attention to detail and security that make Harley-Davidson motorcycles unique.

• New Front Brake System

A new front brake system on the Softail models this year delivers a 40 percent reduction in the amount of lever force required at peak braking. The handlebar master and front cylinders have been restyled. Theres a new 4-piston fixed caliper with 32 and 34 mm pistons, premium caliper piston coating to minimize initial displacement and a larger 300 mm rotor. It all adds up to more stopping power with less effort.
