2004 Harley Softail Fatboy Bobber

Matt from Miami, Florida, United States, kindly made available these photographs of this awesome 2004 Harley Softail Fatboy Bobber.

Matt: "Highly customized Harley Fatboy. The main Harley parts remaining are the engine, transmission and frame. A lot of original parts were stripped off or chopped down to give a more clean, old school look. The core parts - frame, engine, transmission - are all completely original and unmodified. This bike was modeled after the simple but bold and strong style of Exile motorcycles."

2004 Twin Cam Engine

BDL 3" open primary belt drive - front pulley painted gloss black and center of back pulley is in gloss black as well.

Any idea why the Harley Twin Cam engine is nicknamed "the Fathead"?

Those Exile Motorcycles chrome pipes have the baffles removed.

That King Sportster early model gas tank looks cool on this Bobber.
