58 Australian Road Rider Bike Guide
Cruisers
The original bobber fanatics invented the style and they had one rule: if it’s not essential, get rid of it.
That’s the Street Bob. With 103 cubic inches of Harley-Davidson V-Twin power, a solo seat, chopped
rear fender, Mini Apes, blacked-out fork lowers and triple clamps, and a blacked-out engine fi nish
with highlighted fi ns, it’s time to cut and run.
From the raked-out wide fork straddling the 21-inch laced wheel to the Tommy Gun exhaust, the
Wide Glide brings old-school chopper design to a new generation. The look is carried all the way
through from the fl ames on the tank to the minimalist black wire sissy bar. Twist the wick of the
powerful 103 engine. The chopper tradition runs strong.

VERDICT: UNMISTAKABLE ATTITUDE
The muscular Low Rider is a long-time favourite of those who want to ride hard. It features mid-
mount controls, adjustable seat and handlebars, dual disc front brakes, keyless ignition and is
powered by the Twin Cam 103 engine that feeds into a chrome, staggered, shorty exhaust with dual
tapered muffl ers. It’s an icon built so more riders can put in more miles.
Subtle is not the word that comes to mind when describing the Fat Bob. It features a Tommy Gun
exhaust, a unique dual headlight, custom LED tail light, machined disc wheels and performance
that lets you get down to business with a Twin Cam 103 engine and dual disc brakes. The look is
powerful and so is the ride.
