2019 Softail Fat Boy 114 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

  • Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
  • Accessible seat height: A 675 mm seat height keeps this manageable for most riders, which helps confidence at parking-lot speeds.
  • Large fuel range: A 18.9-litre tank means fewer stops on longer rides - a genuine plus for touring or a lengthy daily commute.
  • Low-maintenance final drive: Running Belt final drive cuts out the regular chain cleaning and tensioning that most bikes need.

Considerations

  • Age-related wear: Nothing specific stands out as a weak point on the Softail Fat Boy 114 - the usual used-bike checks (service history, consumables, tyres) apply.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Heat management in traffic

Because the Softail Fat Boy 114 relies on airflow rather than a coolant jacket, expect noticeably more radiant heat at low speed and in traffic. It's inherent to air cooling, and ventilated gear largely offsets it.

Fuelling & injector care

The Fuel System Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) on the Softail Fat Boy 114 needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.

Brake disc and pad wear

Braking up front comes from 2x Discs 4 piston caliper - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The Softail Fat Boy 114's suspension runs Showa Inverted forks at the front. The rear uses Mono shock adjustable. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

The Softail Fat Boy 114 runs belt final drive: no lubrication or frequent adjustment like a chain, though belt tension and wear are worth a periodic look.

Handling the weight at a standstill

317 kg puts the Softail Fat Boy 114 toward the heavier end of its class. It's most noticeable at walking pace; once underway the mass settles into the handling rather than fighting it.

Softail Fat Boy 114 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2019 Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy 114, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy Softail Fat Boy 114 should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects a Softail Fat Boy 114's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.

Fuel system care

Fuel injection on the Softail Fat Boy 114 needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.
