Alongside the standard Fat Boy, the American motorcycle manufacturer made available several special edition motorcycles designed for retired or active members of law enforcement agencies and service organizations.
In 2011, H-D released the Harley-Davidson Firefighter Fat Boy, a special edition cruiser motorcycle especially designed for brave men and women that served as firefighters. The bike had a distinctive design, an exclusive paint scheme, and unique graphics. Besides that, it was identical to the standard Fat Boy.
In the appearance department, the bike came equipped with standard features, including a round headlight, a wide handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, valanced fenders, and bullet-hole full-disc aluminum wheels with fat tires.
In addition, the bike came with new features, including hand controls with fewer wires, a larger readout on the odometer with more information, such as a gear indicator and an rpm display, a factory-installed H-D Smart Security System with a hands-free fob, and an Anti-Lock Braking System.
As for power, the 2011 Harley-Davidson Firefighter Fat Boy had the same 1,584cc air-cooled V-twin engine as the standard Fat Boy, with an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system, delivering smooth throttle response, fast acceleration, and 127 Nm (94 lb-ft)) torque at 3,000 rpm.
It also packed the same six-speed Cruise Drive manual transmission, suspension, and braking system as the original Fat Boy, without any modifications.
