Initially ordered from Harley-Davidson of New York City, this 1979 FXE-F Fat Bob Super Glide 1200 has been modified over the years with chrome accessories, S&S carburetors, an S&S exhaust system, a King & Queen seat, and custom pinstriping. It was acquired by the seller from its original owner on PCARMARKET in 2022 after it had been in storage since 1996. This Fat Bob has received a host of maintenance items since and is now being offered for auction by its second owner out of New Jersey.

This Fat Bob is finished in red with a black leather King and Queen seat featuring red stitching and an embossed Harley-Davidson logo on the backrest. The Fat Bob namesake is derived from the bike’s widened dual fuel tanks and cut fenders. Several custom chrome accessories have been fitted including a Harley-Davidson branded engine cover, transmission cover, rear fender guard, and rear seat bracket, a chrome chain guard, a new chrome petocck, an “Eagle-Spirit” handlebar bracket, 3.5" raised handlebars, and a Harley-Davidson leather roll-up tool bag. The seller states the gas tank has been acid washed and ceramic coated, and some traces of corrosion are present on other parts of the bike, detailed images are provided in the gallery. It rides on period-correct Avon Speedmaster tires with custom red accents. The seller states the reset function for the trip odometer is not working properly.

The Fat Bob FXE-F was introduced in 1979 featuring an electronic ignition system for its air-cooled V2 four-stroke 1200cc engine. Up to 58 HP is sent to the rear through a chain-driven 4-speed transmission. Performance upgrades include S&S carburetors and a stainless-steel exhaust system. The seller states that newly installed items under their ownership included rubber hoses, plugs, wires, a battery and trickle cable, chrome petcock, primary gasket, transmission gasket with new lines, Harley/Buell brake pads, and a Drag Specialties rear brake master cylinder. Additionally, the carburetor is said to have been rebuilt along with new fuel lines and front fork seals installed, the air and oil filters have been changed, and Amsoil fluids have been refreshed.

This sale will include the original bill of sale, 3 keys, some service records, and the original owner’s manuals.

The seller would like you to know: "All is in 100% working order with the exception of the reset on the trip odometer. The trip operates properly. Own a piece of Harley Davidson history today!"
