Default Fat Bob going out of production in 2013?

Howdy All,

Did a search but didn't find the answer. The HD Dealer here in Mobile, AL says that 2013 is the last year for the Fat Bob, and that it is going out of production. Can anyone confirm or deny this info?

Thanks in advance,

Buster

Rumor is the Fat Bob will have a PC name change for 2014 though.
The FAFA* group have petitioned Harley to change the name to something a little less offensive. According to documents floating around it will be called the BigBoned Robbie when it debuts for the 2014 model year.

I read the same article on the "Americans for Fairness & Equality Website". It seems gender based names are being scrubbed by the federal regulators due to discrimination. Accordingly, other changes coming are:
Old= Fat Boy. New=BigBoned Gender Neutral Youth
Old= Fat Boy Low. New=Big Boned Vertically Challenged Gender Neutral Youth

Colors are out for the 2014 models too, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the Fat Bob in the candy orange color. Forgot what it's called but it looks slick!
