Hey guys,

I am thinking about maybe doing a bobbed rear fender on my '09 Fatbob. I really like the look of some of them on here but don't know if can bring myself to cutting up the OEM rear fender sheetmetal. I really like Bosken's bike but from the way it looks removing the fender completely requires removing the rear frame which isn't reversible without welding on the frame. I think I would like to have a short fender on there and still use a mustang solo seat. I guess I can move the OEM turn signals forward and install the kit that makes the turn signals light up when the brakes are engaged. Can anyone offer any advice/pics/ideas for a bobbed setup? I may try to get a streetbob fender and go cutting on it first. Thanks.

 

Found this on a French Harley Forum:

Quick translate. He bought a "tombstone" from Custom Chrome, and cut and fitted it to his specifications. The pics kind of explain themselves.

Note: he bought the tombstone 8.5 inch and found out it's a bit too small, he thinks the 9 inch might be a better fit.

hope this helps

 

hey boss, feel free to check out my album. I took a 06 street bob fender that had the same paint as my scooter, and modified it.

 

Here is mine...

Alot of foreign companies are reproducing the fatbob fender. Why aren't any companies hoping on the bandwagon. Some say the fatbob fender is ugly but I think the streetbob fender has a fugly shape to it and it sits way too high on the fatbob. Not my cup of tea, its alright but not a perfect fit. I like that pic but 400+ would mean 700 or 800 after shipping.....and then have to get it painted..
