Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy reviews

I received this bike for Father’s Day from my grandson’s other grandfather. He didn’t ride anymore and he knew I’d always wanted a Harley. He called and said, “Come and pick up your Harley. Happy Father’s Day. He’d bought it new for $19995 in 2000 and ridden it just 2800 miles. He kept it garaged (an air conditioned garage). He told me to pick up a battery in the way. He hadn’t started it in a while because the battery was dead (apparently they don’t last 22 years). We dropped in the new battery and by the third crank that baby started right up. I dropped it off at an independent Harley / Chopper shop for a once over, change the 22 year old oil/tranny/primary fluids, and put on new tires. It’s like the bike had been in stasis for two decades. Runs like new. Show less

Seems these guys don’t know anything about the bikes there selling I called and ask how many owners the bike has and they can’t answer that simple question so I asked for a manager then they hung up on me Show less

I love this motorcycle and hate to sell it. I’m 75 years old, had a mild stroke a couple years ago so don’t have the confidence in myself to ride. It is a highly unique factory customer bike. I honestly have not seen an identical bike ever. She looks like new and rides like a dream. I added a Chrome tachometer, and Thunder-blaster pipes and more. The final year for the Evolution engine. My personal taste was to take off the passenger seat, but I kept the parts if you want the more traditional Heritage Softail look. Show less

The is an awesome motorcycle- owned it for 17 years and the performance and ride on this bike is outstanding!! Not to mention the handling of it, it’s a get up and go motor without compromising the size of the bike or motor - this bike looks and sounds incredible - I’ve added a Stage 2 motor kit to give you that extra power and Vance Show less

I have owned 3 Heritages. The 2014 is lighter and more nimble then it’s two predecessors that I owned. Balance is also quite impressive. Engine vibration is gone and absolutely very reliable. At 70 mph on the highway it just eats up the road. This is the best of the 3 that I have owned. Show less

I’ve been riding Harleys since the 1970s. Back then we would call this model a geezer glide. Now it fits me perfectly. Smooth ride, good looking, sounds great, everyone comments how good it looks. I guess I’m officially a geezer….Yikes!!!! Show less

I bought the bike in 2014 with about 20,000 miles on it, after a full day of thorough cleaning it looked like new again. White with red trim. I’ve owned 28 Harleys and this HS is definitely the best looking and a great ride. I regret trading it. I’m 74 years old and looking for another Heritage Springer , probably my last bike. Show less

This bike is fun, runs and rides great and is absolutely beautiful. Handles great and is as advertised. There are a lot of extras on this bike that make it unique and one of a kind. Very well taken care of. Show less

I purchased a 2017 Deluxe so I could get the last good model with a softer rider and proven workmanship. Love this bike, it is a great solo bike and with add ons, you can make it a touring bike. rode 5000 miles coast to coast in less than 11 days and enjoyed every minute of it, especially with a Corbin seat and back rest.
