The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy models have always been very popular with the friends of the brand. Rick’s Motorcycles has given this “fat boy” a deep black paint job and with it the appropriate name. In addition to the color, the “Onix” offers further highlights which ensure a unique look, but when Rick’s decided on the components for the conversion, not all possibilities were exhausted. It would easily have been possible to use more parts from Rick’s large parts program and to achieve an even more spectacular result, but that would have driven the price for the conversion up considerably.

The most elaborate modification is at the rear. Rick’s offers complete conversion kits for almost all Harley-Davidson models. Each single one is largely handcrafted from high-quality steel. The material strengths of struts and fenders are so high that even a passenger can be carried without any problems. In addition to the suitable fender for the later tire dimension, the kits contain the correct seat base plate, a tank cover for a smooth transition from seat to tank and the necessary mounting kit.

So that the bike also looks good when stationary, an airride system was added. With this, the bike can, as required, be lifted to a desired ride level or lowered for an ultra-low look, as seen in these photos, in seconds by simply pressing a button. The steel front fender is also made by Rick’s specially for the Fat Boy models. While here an extra short version was used, Rick’s also offers another version in standard length.
