Celebrating 35 years of the iconic Fat Boy, Harley-Davidson has launched the special edition Gray Ghost in its legendary silver and yellow colours. Honouring the Fat Boy’s unmistakable style from 1990, the Gray Ghost version is part of Harley-Davidson’s special lineup, the Icons collection.
Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Gray Ghost: Design
Even after 35 years, the Fat Boy continues to have a signature imposing road presence that made it a global phenomenon, especially in the Hollywood movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This is the first time Harley-Davidson has given an entire motorcycle the Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). This is quite a stunning finish as the fenders, tank, and the 2-in-1 exhaust get a liquid metal finish, which the company calls it a ‘mirror-like finish’, actually reminds us of the metal endoskeleton T-1000 character from Terminator 2.
