Introduced for the 2018 model year as part of Harley-Davidson’s all-new Softail redesign, this nameplate paired the Fat Bob’s aggressive, blacked-out styling with the Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine and a more performance-focused chassis than earlier Fat Bob variants. It arrived as a fresh, distinctly modern take on the long-running Fat Bob concept, with a steeper-rake, inverted-fork look and a roadster attitude that set it apart from more traditional Harley cruisers. The model continued through the 2019–2024 period as Harley-Davidson kept the 114 badge on the Fat Bob in official documentation and marketplace listings. For 2025, Harley-Davidson’s mainstream cruiser lineup shifted to a Fat Bob model without the 114 name, indicating the Fat Bob 114 designation had ended with the 2024 model year. Enthusiasts often see it as the most performance-oriented evolution of the Fat Bob name, and one of the key machines from Harley-Davidson’s post-2018 Softail family.
