The Fat Boy Special is the lowered, darkened version of the Fat Boy, sold in the US as the Fat Boy Lo. It shares the 1690 cc Twin Cam 103B and hidden-shock Softail chassis, but sits lower, wears black bullet-hole wheels, a black-and-satin-chrome shotgun exhaust and an engine with black powder-coated cylinders and heads. The result is a meaner, murdered-out take on the classic fat custom.
