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?
there is only 6 bikes next year ear marked for no further builds, the fat bob is not one of them...from the factory floor....!
xr1200x,flhtc,flhrc,flhr,fltrx,fltru. but some of these will come back re-designed, & some are only not getting made in usa....

Great to hear the Fat Bob will continue production! Thanks for the info!!
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.

*Fat Asses For America
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

Good, I was tired of telling everyone my name is not "bob"
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!
