The FLSTF, or "Fat Boy" continued its run of popularity
in 1997. The wide "beach bars" were still used, as were the solid wheels at
both ends of the low-slung FL. Cosmetic changes were the only revisions to
the 1997 editions. But with a runaway success, why mess with the formula?
The original all-silver motif had been replaced in 1991, and every year saw
different hues being applied to the sheet metal of the Fat Boy. The winged
tank trim remained the same.
Any corrections or more information on these motorcycles will be kindly appreciated.
