Default NEW Fat Bob 117 coming out in 2025?!

This dude speculates a new Fat Bob is coming back because of a dealer blog post pointing out special parts will be available for that model in 2025:


I read the source material, which I’ll also link below, but I’m not so sure about his conclusion. I will say it makes sense for more Softail updates after last year was all touring bike news.

Dealership blog to which he refers.

That reads like it was written by AI.

The fat bob is still sold in Europe so I don't think this necessarily means it'll make a comeback to the North American market but we'll see soon. Personally I was a huge fan of the fat bob and loved the look of it. The only thing that swayed me to go street bob over fat bob was the forward controls. If the fat bob came with factory mids I would've gotten that instead.

Reminder that Leaks are always subject to being bullshit.
Remember when it was leaked that the Sport Glide was getting the axe one year and it didnt?
Yes the Sport glide eventually got axed, but let it remind you that leaks mean nothing until we see what the MOCO actually did at model year release.
