- Harley-Davidson FXDB Dyna Street Bob, 2012
The Big Twin power, authentic classic bobber style, stripped to pure essentials
The Street Bob goes straight back to the minimalist roots of the bobber scene. Stripped down to the bare essentials, and as “naked” as the law allows, the key word here is “pure” with no parts that aren’t absolutely necessary. Since its introduction, this attitude-laden motorcycle has taken the custom world by storm with mini ape-hanger handlebar, Fat Bob fuel tank, solo seat, mid-mounted foot controls and a big, black Twin Cam 96 engine.
Completely redesigned in 2009, the Street Bob goes straight back to the minimalist roots of the bobber scene. Stripped down to the bare essentials, and as “naked” as the law allows, the Street Bob goes right to the heart of riding with no distractions along the way.

BOBBER SOLO SEAT
True to the old school bobber look, a slammed solo seat drops you in nice and snug to the bike and close to the pavement beneath you. It's the ultimate bond with the road and your machine. Get the quintessential bobber style without sacrificing the comfort of the ride.
CHOPPED REAR FENDER
Lose the support covers and a good chunk of metal and you get another important feature of the bobber from yesteryear: the chopped rear fender. Stripped down clean, this fender offers just enough surface for low-profile taillights and a license plate bracket. Give other riders more tire to look at when you blow past them.
BLACKED OUT RIMS
Raw, gritty and no-nonsense—the Street Bob motorcycle features black laced steel wheels and stainless steel spokes with an aggressive 19' wheel up front to lead your way out of the mundane. Blacked out like the Harley-Davidson Twin Cam engine, these wheels make a bold statement and provide a smooth, true ride.
SAUSAGE TAILLIGHT
The devil is in the details when it comes to the essence of the period bobber—even at the tail end of the bike. The sausage taillight with attached license plate bracket was introduced back in the '40s, and it is still going strong today to capture that slick, nostalgic look.
FUEL TANK MEDALLIONS
When it comes to motorcycles, there's one name that people will never mistake for another: Harley-Davidson. The Street Bob model features fuel tank medallions that ooze the iconic Harley-Davidson attitude. Consider it your badge of honor bolted on the side of the fuel tank so everyone can see exactly how you roll.
PREMIUM PAINT
Up to two times thicker than the competition, custom quality paint comes standard on all Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Clearcoat layering up to five mils deep. Bigger metal flakes. Unique effects in the sunglo and pearl colors. Skimping simply is not in our vocabulary
HAND FINISHED FUEL TANK
All Harley-Davidson fuel tanks are finished by hand—that's what makes them stand out from the competition. Their seamless design and unmatched style are unique among all motorcycles on the road. The tanks are one of the first and last things people notice when they lay their eyes on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle—so we make it worth their time.
MINI 'APE-HANGER' HANDLEBAR
Grab hold of the stainless steel mini ape-hanger handlebar and put your fists way up in the wind—it'll take you back to the good old days of post-war bobbers. And for that clean and minimalist, bobber look, the wires are routed inside the steel.
TWIN CAM 96 ENGINE HERITAGE
The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was put to good use when we created the Twin Cam 96 engine. We sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward.
And we did it all without compromising one bit of Harley-Davidson's unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying on the legacy of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution and Twin Cam 88 engines that came before. The performance and durability are a direct result of the untold miles logged on the V-Twin since 1909, and the proud heritage that comes from a century's worth of commitment to life on two wheels.
TWIN CAM 96 ENGINE INNOVATION
Fire up the Twin Cam 96 engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed. Thanks to the lightweight piston design, delivery of the added power is more refined than ever. Then put your foot on the shifter and feel how the engine and Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission were designed to work together. Six speeds. A strong driveline and strong internal parts. Low routine maintenance. And a low cruising rpm couldn't feel better.
PURE HARLEY-DAVIDSON STYLING
Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 96 engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Black powder-coated heads and cylinders are highlighted by polished rocker covers. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power.
From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers—the Twin Cam 96 engine makes an ironclad statement to holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.
SIX-SPEED CRUISE DRIVE
You want a ride that rumbles—not begs for mercy—when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening up the road ahead.
ARTFULLY HIDDEN TECHNOLOGY
Harley-Davidson leverages the latest in technology without compromising style and function. That means we hide electronics. The whole wiring harness is skillfully routed behind the jewels of the bike—the tank, engine and all the other eye-popping features you want to see. It's just another way The Motor Company goes the extra mile to give its bikes that premium, top-of-the-line fit and finish.
INTUITIVE CONTROLS
Hand controls on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle are incredibly intuitive. The turn signals are self-canceling and, based on the speed and angle of the motorcycle, they know how long to stay on. Engaging the controls quickly becomes second nature so you can focus less on turning off your signal and more on basking in the freedom of the ride.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES (OPTIONAL)
You may be cruising with swagger, but you know safety counts. This sophisticated, factory-installed ABS gives 'stopping power' a double meaning. Its components are tastefully hidden within the wheel hub, so you'll still turn heads with clean, streamlined design. But more importantly, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bike's going to behave when you need it. Offered as a part of the 'Security Package' (which includes the H-D Smart Security System).
H-D SMART SECURITY SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The factory-installed next-generation security system features a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicle electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. It's this attention to details and security that make Harley-Davidson motorcycles unique. Offered as a part of the 'Security Package' (which includes Anti-Lock Brakes).
ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION
Preload is easily adjusted with a spanner wrench to make your suspension suit you and your riding style. The slammed low rear suspension gives you a more laid-back riding position and style. Low-profile, kicked back for profiling down the boulevard and hugging corners.
TUNED TO BE RIDDEN
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are different from any other bike out on the road. There's a balance to them. The steering, the maneuverability—it's all in concert. And each Harley-Davidson® model is tuned differently to create a unique riding experience for each individual no matter which bike they swing their leg over. Let's face it, we didn't get to where we are by being like everyone else.
MICHELIN SCORCHER TIRES
New Michelin Scorcher Tires provide the superior performance, sensational grip, impressive durability and excellent handling expected on a race-bred bike. The exclusive deep-cut tread design improves grip and water evacuation capability. Grip performance and durability is also enhanced by the tire's rubber compounds, which use the latest generation of Michelin synthetic polymers. Under the rear rubber, aramid belts are used to stabilize your ride, which helps inspire confidence in handling.
MID-MOUNTED CONTROLS
Let your boots fall where they may, naturally to the mid-mounted controls and rider foot pegs on the Street Bob model. An easy reach and tight rider triangle is confidence-inspiring for new riders eager to set off on their journey and riders whose legs run slightly shorter than others.
SEAT ENGINEERING AND DESIGN
The seat is home for Harley-Davidson motorcycle riders. They want a seat that has unique style without sacrificing comfort. Because of that, Harley-Davidson invests a lot of time in researching, designing and testing seats so that every bike has just the right saddle.
ENGINE IDLE TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Our motorcycles are built to be ridden. A lot. So that means that rider comfort is top of mind. Always. With the Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy (EITMS) feature, the motorcycle automatically cuts fuel and fire from rear cylinder when idling, which helps reduce engine heat felt by rider and passenger. This feature can easily be turned on by your dealer.
