Thanks man....I'm really happy with it. I was worried about the ride quality with the Burlys, but it's way better than I expected and I love the feel of being much lower.

This thread completely changed my mind on what bike I'd like to get.

I was set on the street bob because I can't stand the look of the stock Fat bob fender.

Everything else on the Fat bob, in my opinion, is better though. (dual disks, 103", mag wheels, tire sizing).

Glad I stumbled across this thread. Excellent work!

Greatscott, do you have any tips on painting that rear fender to match the tank denim black? Also, is your rear tire centered with the struts? Mine has maybe like an inch gap on the left side and about 1.75 inches on the right. I didn't really notice this until I went to put on a wide glide fender this weekend.

Lads,

I was just wondering about the mod. Before I start ordering the parts for the rear fender, is there any cutting of the original frame required.

Also maybe this is one for Great Scott or FatGlidin but the lower shocks finish the rear end off and was wondering where the best place is to get the Burlys. Does the lower position change the riding position that much?

Many thanks,

Al

No, there is no frame cutting. It's a pretty easy swap.

I got the Burlys on eBay. Being across the pond, you'll have to pay higher shipping costs, but it'll probably still be worth it.

I need help!!! I am in the process of putting the Wide Glide fender on my Fat Bob. I am using a side mount license with the tail light attached. I need to know which run, brake turn module to get? I know to get Bad Lands, but which one??
Thanks,
Bob

When I did mine I just ordered the run, turn, brake module from Las Vegas HD off of Ebay. I've had it on there for about 8 months or so now and it works great.

Thanks Bro, I'll look in to it. Did you have to get your bike tuned after you completed it?
