Yep...the FXEF

They came stock with a 2 into 1 exhaust that looks very similar to the new FXDF. They did not have the bobtail fender and wide front tire though.

Here is a pic from the harley website from their history timeline.

What was the Fat characteristic?

 

It was the first dyna with the fat bob tanks if I am not mistaken.

 

I read something about two gas tanks, you can read a bit about it here on the forum website. its under the HD History section. Wait, here it is"In 1977, the FXS low-rider is introduced. It has drag style handle bars and a unique paint scheme. Its name fit, because it put the rider truly "lower." Two years later, the "Fat Bob" was released. The "fat" in the name is due to the two gas tanks on the bike, while the "bob" stands for the abnormal fenders that were part of the motorcycle"
