2020 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114 Overview

The 2020 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114 is a custom / cruiser motorcycle built around 1868 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a V2, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.5:1. The bore and stroke measures 102 x 114 mm. 2020 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114 delivers 160 Nm @ 3500 Revolutions of torque. From a practical standpoint, the 2020 Fat Boy 114 tips the scales at 306 kg, carries a 13.60-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 710 mm and spans a 1690 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 5.4 kg heavier than the average custom / cruiser motorcycle in our database.

2020 Fat Boy 114 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

  • Fuel injection: The fuel injection system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
  • Accessible seat height: At 710 mm, the seat height is approachable for a wide range of rider heights and builds confidence in low-speed manoeuvring.
  • Low-maintenance final drive: Belt   (final drive) final drive means no chain to clean, lube or adjust - meaningfully less routine maintenance than a chain-driven equivalent.

Considerations

  • Age-related wear: As with any used Fat Boy 114, a thorough pre-purchase inspection covering consumables, service history and tyres is always recommended.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling comes from fuel injection. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.

Valve clearance checks

Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation on the Fat Boy 114 means clearances should be checked at the manufacturer's specified interval - they can tighten as mileage accumulates, and a light top-end tick is usually the first sign.

Brake disc and pad wear

The Double disc. ABS. 4-piston. front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.

Suspension condition on used examples

Up front, the Fat Boy 114 runs Telescopic fork and Twin shocks at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Final drive is by belt - lower maintenance than chain with no lubrication needed, but tension and tooth wear should still be checked at service intervals.

Handling the weight at a standstill

At 306 kg, the Fat Boy 114 is a substantial machine - low-speed manoeuvring in car parks takes more physical effort than on a lighter bike, though the weight disappears once rolling.

Fat Boy 114 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2020 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 114, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained Fat Boy 114 should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any Fat Boy 114. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. The sump holds 3.30 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Fuel system care

The Fat Boy 114's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.

Valve clearance service

Check that valve clearances have been adjusted at the correct intervals on any used Fat Boy 114. A bike with clearances out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but tight clearances accelerate valve seat wear. Ask for service documentation proving it's been done.
