Hey guys, looking for your opinion..

I'm about to take delivery of a new Fat Boy S, I'm preparing my build and really would like to do something about that big ol' fender back there. I came across this photo, the bike was put together by a dealer in Australia. Bolt on installation, '10 FXST rear fender with a LED taillight. Looks pretty awesome if you ask me. I wish I could have found a side view shot.

What do you guys think?

 

Looks better than what it comes with, remember years ago Harleys themselves had a magazine ad of a Fatboy with a similar setup, personally though if I was going to the trouble of changing the fender I'd go for a Heartlands one.

 

Looks good. looks like it would bolt right on if you get a fender from an fxst with the 200 rear tire. you may have to switch the wiring harness to the one on your bike now.

 

When i first got my FB I thought about putting the bobtail on it, wanting to show off that fat tire, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked the curves of the front fender and rear fender. I still wonder, but not gonna happen now that I put bags on.

FYI, the FB used to have the option of bobtail, back when spokes were an option as well.

 

Just did this on my 05, it ha ms the 200 rear tire conversion.

 

My dad did just the opposite last year. It's a direct bolt on.

 

A bloke at my work bought this actual bike from Harley City in Brunswick. (Aus) And it looks better in the flesh! Bet it goes nicely being a Fatboy S also.

My own build is getting the same treatment. I am going to start my own thread re my build soon........... Maybe tonight.

 

Somehow it looks good, Although .. I for one.. changed my FXST rear fender for a fat boy .. that is the beauty of this game I think.. every thing looks good somehow

 

Interesting builds with the bobtail fenders, been hoping HD would rerelease the softail custom or standard but a FB lo with the bobtail would be sweet!
So A bobtail fender from a softail custom is a direct bolt on for a FB or FB lo
Both having same width rear tire (200)?

 

So did I, I felt the FXST fender was to feminine for me. I kept wanting to sit when I pissed. LOL
