Australian Road Rider — Bike Guide 2017

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.
