Fat Bob Squadron - owners check in!

Checking in, picked up my new '12 Fat Bob in January and have done the following so far: V&H Black Staggered pipes, Freeflow aircleaner, FL footboards, Short Reach seat, and Quick removable mid high sissy bar with pad for when the wife is on the back. Love the bike but really getting tired of lazy vendors telling me to switch out my headlight for a Wide Glide to install any type of faring. Man that is one of the focal points of a Fat Bob. I would love a neat little quarter faring cut for the Fat Bob dual headlight. Anyone seen anything that works other than the Buell?

As far as a windscreen for duals, pretty much any plexi screen for a 5-3/4 light can be cut to work with the dual light setup. I saw a thread somewhere on here where somebody took a quick detach H-D screen and just cut it out for the dual light so its only limited by your creativity. As far as ones you can buy already cut, not much choice there hence the modifieds ones
Good luck on your search

No it won't fit the stock fender, to fit a 210 you need to modify the wheel and chop the frame strads, my rear wheel was modify from standard to 6,25" by 17" and the tyre is 210/50/17.
Please check out the video on YouTube under FAT BOB MODIFICATION
Thank you

Checking in from California. I picked up this 08 a few weeks ago. The bike has 5000 miles on it. Stage one has been done already by the previous owner, but the first thing to go will be these Screaming Eagle mufflers. I need some better sound. I am having a blast on this bike so far. My last bike was a Sportster.

Checking in from Sacramento. Picked up my 09 Fat Bob last week from Walnut Creek Harley. Only 2100 miles. Just broken in. Pearl Black . I am ABSOLUTELY loving it. Been considering the Fat Bob for about a month now because of the styling. It was the handling that blew me away. Big time upgrade from my old Sportster. Looking forward to be part of this board.

RE: Fat Bob Squadron - owners check in!
Checking in from around Little Rock. Bought my 09 Fat Bob Last April for my first HD. I am looking to do some mods Like a batwing. I would love to find glass bags either that fit or to mod to fit. Definitely want to change the headlight out to a 7" single. I absolutley love the feel and handling. Put 6000 miles on it last summer, before I wore out the original tires at 12000 miles. Had to wait until taxes came in last week to replace them and bought another used set for spares. maybe I will get to put another 12K on it this year. I put the OEM tires back on, because I was afraid it would change the ride if I put radials on, not to mention I got 12K out of that set of tires and hope to get close to the same out of the new ones. I will be looking for advice on fairing and other things. Thanks in advance.
