The 2017 Harley-Davidson Dyna Fat Bob (model code FXDF) is a muscular American cruiser known for its bold styling and strong mid-range torque. It's part of Harley's classic Dyna family - a line of bikes with exposed rear shocks and a traditional frame - discontinued after the 2017 model year This is one of two bikes we have traded from a husband and wife due who brought both bikes over from Australia Well looked after and really eye catching a great ride for summer ! A very popular model
Why the Fat Bob 103ci is iconic 1. The 103ci was the last "raw" big twin era The Twin Cam 103 represents the end of an era.
It's air-cooled, mechanical, and unapologetically loud No ride modes, no traction control, no liquid cooling You feel the motor shake at idle, then smooth out as you roll on
After this, Harley moved to the Milwaukee-Eight and Softail chassis - more refined, more modern... but less visceral.
The 103 is widely seen as the sweet spot: Bigger and punchier than the old 96 Simpler and more "honest" than newer motors
The 103ci is legendary because it's:
Reliable Easy to work on Insanely mod-friendly
A lot of riders say: "This is what a Harley is supposed to feel like."
The Dyna chassis + 103 = magic The Dyna frame has: Rubber-mounted engine (less buzz, still character) Exposed twin rear shocks Slight flex that gives it a rowdy, alive feeling The 103ci in a Dyna feels different than in a touring bike - it's lighter, more responsive, more hooligan. Color & vibe That teal / turquoise paint is the star of the show. Very Harley Custom / early-2000s CVO energy. The tank graphics give it a classy, almost vintage custom feel. The colour carries through to the front fender and chin spoiler, which ties the whole bike together really cleanly.
