You may want to double check before you order. If it would work for the street bob, I would order one in a quick second. Cheaper than the Ginz alternative.

Sissy Bar
sissybar part #51161-10 fits perfectly on the 09 Fatbob. Use the 54097-10 docking hardware but keep in mind I bought it...got home and realized I was 2 long bolts short and had to come up with them. I dont know if the kit was short or the wrong kit...i had already driven home and wasnt going back. I had the bolts so everything worked out.

I really like the look of the sissy bar. I have been looking ALL night for the right one and almost gave up until I saw yours. I have an 09 Fat Bob as well so the information you posted and the pics is a great help and I will be purchasing this item because of your post. Thanks again.

09 Fat Bob
Want that sissy bar bad for my 09 but wondering about saddle bag fitment with the sissy bar docking hardware. My saddle bags just bolt right the the galvanized bracket on the back of the strut. Can i just used the docking hardware bolts to bolt my bags on?

Just put the sissy bar (#51161-10) on my 2009 Fatbob, no problem with the fit. The docking hardware you need is (#53964-06A). It came with all four bolts and proper mounting hardware. I think some of the owners had the wrong kit and that's why they were short. Everything fit great with no problems.
Cajun Fat Bob - Used the docking hardware. This bar doesn't fit between the struts and fender...

I fish this thread would have come up a week sooner, I just put the chrome ridgid kit from factory on because moco said it wouldnt fit. In an aftermarket book found that the 2010 upright was wider than 08 and 09 and figured it wouldnt fit. 08-09 was 9 9/16" and 10 was 10 1/4" ? Now I got to powder or paint.
