Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo Long Term Update #7: Hittin' the Road

Fatty, my Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo long-term tester, had been collecting dust for far too long, so it was finally time to saddle up and hit the road before the cobwebs got even more embarrassing.

Trouble is, when I stopped for gas before my 130 mile ride to Palm Desert, California, good ol' Fatty's battery was too tired from storage to stir that hulking 1,690cc v-twin back to life.

How did I get my Fat Boy Lo started again, and how did it handle the 260 mile roundtrip?

Find out in Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo Long Term Update #7: Hittin' the Road.

Photo Gallery: The Prettiest Dirtbike You'll See All Day

Clay Rathburn of Atom Bomb Customs had a problem: the Richmond, Virginia-based builder churned out bobber after bobber, but, raised on dirtbikes, felt like he needed to get a personal build "out of his head."

Nearly 800 man hours later, the RVA Overland emerged.

Built around a 1974 Triumph T140 Bonneville engine, this one-off creation features a scratch-built frame executed in conjunction with Race Tech Suspension, a hand-formed aluminum tank, relocated carbs that required between 35 and 40 hours of modification work to the cylinder head.

See more shots of Rathburn's stunning creation in this Atom Bomb Customs RVA Overland Dirtbike Photo Gallery.
