A new seat is narrower, which along with the low seat height makes it possible for almost any rider to place both feet flat on the ground when the motorcycle is at rest. Wellerstein, Alex.

To allow any rider to make a personal statement, Harley-Davidson offers a wide variety of motorcycle styles within the Cruiser segment, from nostalgic to very modern. A cruiser rider seeks to disconnect from an increasingly hectic life, and only the world’s most desirable motorcycle company can offer these riders so many ways to reach that goal. Authentic heritage meets modern technology for power, style, and the unadulterated riding experience – around town or along country roads. For 2022 new paint colors are offered across the Cruiser model line-up.The gun-type and implosion-type designs were codenamed " Thin Man" and "Fat Man", respectively. These code names were created by Robert Serber, a former student of Oppenheimer's who worked on the Manhattan Project. He chose them based on their design shapes; the Thin Man was a very long device, and the name came from the Dashiell Hammett detective novel The Thin Man and series of movies. The Fat Man was round and fat and was named after Sydney Greenstreet's character in Hammett's The Maltese Falcon. Little Boy came last as a variation of Thin Man. [6] The Little Boy uranium gun-type design came later and was named only to contrast with the Thin Man. [6] Los Alamos's Thin Man and Fat Man code names were adopted by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). A cover story was devised that Silverplate was about modifying a Pullman car for use by President Franklin Roosevelt (Thin Man) and United Kingdom Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Fat Man) on a secret tour of the United States. [7] Air Forces personnel used the code names over the phone to make it sound as though they were modifying a plane for Roosevelt and Churchill. [8] Development Stainless steel 1.25-inch-diameter handlebar features internal wiring for an uncluttered control area. This handlebar is narrower than the Fat Boy handlebar. In 2007 the displacement was increased to 1,584cc (96.7cuin) [10] and the transmission changed six speeds. [11] MacDonald, Sean (August 22, 2017).

The size of the bomb was constrained by the available aircraft, which were investigated for suitability by Norman Foster Ramsey. The only Allied aircraft considered capable of carrying the Fat Man without major modification were the British Avro Lancaster and the American Boeing B-29 Superfortress. [21] [22] [23] At the time, the B-29 represented the epitome of bomber technology with significant advantages in Maximum takeoff weight, range, speed, flight ceiling, and survivability. Without the availability of the B-29, dropping the bomb would likely have been impossible. However, this still constrained the bomb to a maximum length of 11 feet (3.4m), width of 5 feet (1.5m) and weight of 20,000 pounds (9,100kg). Removing the bomb rails allowed a maximum width of 5.5 feet (1.7m). [22]

Fuel economy estimates are derived from US EPA exhaust emission certification data on a sample motorcycle from the corresponding family under ideal laboratory conditions. Your actual fuel economy will vary depending on your personal riding habits, road and driving conditions, vehicle condition and maintenance, tire pressure, vehicle configuration (parts and accessories), and vehicle loading (cargo, rider and passenger weight). Break-in mileage may vary. In 2012 the Fat Boy received the new 1,690cc (103cuin) Twin Cam engine along with the rest of the softail range Teller, Edward (2001).

Belonging to the softail category the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo hosts the lowest seat height of 24.1/4 inches of all Harley’s models which makes it a popular choice for women motorcycle riders. It also has a slimmer seat. This results in a truly positive rider effect and confidence feeling with two feet securely planted on the ground.

Oppenheimer brought John von Neumann to Los Alamos in September 1943 to take a fresh look at implosion. After reviewing Neddermeyer's studies, and discussing the matter with Edward Teller, von Neumann suggested the use of high explosives in shaped charges to implode a sphere, which he showed could not only result in a faster assembly of fissile material than was possible with the gun method, but greatly reduce the amount of material required, because of the resulting higher density. [10] The idea that, under such pressures, the plutonium metal itself would be compressed came from Teller, whose knowledge of how dense metals behaved under heavy pressure was influenced by his pre-war theoretical studies of the Earth's core with George Gamow. [11] The prospect of more-efficient nuclear weapons impressed Oppenheimer, Teller, and Hans Bethe, but they decided that an expert on explosives would be required. Kistiakowsky's name was immediately suggested, and Kistiakowsky was brought into the project as a consultant in October 1943. [10] Nichols, Kenneth D. (1987). The Road to Trinity.

This covered 70% of the area over Kokura, obscuring the aiming point. Three bomb runs were made over the next 50 minutes, burning fuel and repeatedly exposing the aircraft to the heavy defenses of Yahata, but the bombardier was unable to drop visually. By the time of the third bomb run, Japanese anti-aircraft fire was getting close; Second Lieutenant Jacob Beser was monitoring Japanese communications, and he reported activity on the Japanese fighter direction radio bands. [54]In the mid-1970s, mechanical engineer Bill Davis designed and built a predecessor to the Softail and patented the design in 1976. [8] Davis sold his patents, prototype, and tooling to Harley-Davidson in January 1982. [9] The Fat Boy was one of numerous Harley-Davidson models built on the Softail frame.

Low and wide have always been the hallmarks of the Fat Boy line, and the newest additions to the family take it down even further. Unladen seat height on the base Fat Boy drops from 27.2 inches to 26.4 inches, while the Lo drops from 26.4 inches on down to an even 26 inches between the '15 and '16 models, respectively, though the Lo wasn't carried forward to 2017. The “S” starts out life already slammed down to 26 inches with only 4.7 inches of ground clearance, right on par with the Lo. The original fat-custom icon commands the road with a steamroller stance. For 2022 its Lakester cast aluminum wheels are re-styled with 11 turbine-like spokes and an open center, and the classic Fat Boy® model tank badge is revised and now has a single trailing “wing” while retaining the centered star.
