actually looks pretty cool

 

"Fatster?" lol..... I like it... Pretty hot looking scoot actually.... Without the obvious visual cue of the suspension coil... At a quick glance... It might be mistaken for a customized fat boy.... Definitely a one-off.

 

It's a one off in the sense of "some" of it's styling cues. I know it has been done before. 2 friends of mine have done the fatboy conversion. One with the stretched tank and one with OE Fatboy flat side tanks. I just thought I'd show another option to sportster customizing.
IMO it's pretty cool. Kinda looks like the Fat Bob without the ugly azz dual headlights.

 

I guess it's a acquired taste. FUGLEY come to mind.

 

It is an interesting option.... Obviously I'm more into the bobber look myself... But I always appreciate a unique look.... I hadn't seen one like that before.

 

Yea, just not my taste....I guess it like a ugly puppy you still love'm.

 

It's different. Headlight looks a bit out of proportion to the rest of the bike.

 

Would the Fatboy frontend bolt into place, or would there have to be serious rework to the frame to make it work?

 

Looks like skilled work but not to my liking.

 

Agreed. The nacelle seems to enhance that effect. I think with a standard fatboy headlight(without the nacelle) it would look alot better.

If I remember rightitwas pretty much a bolt on but there was something to do with the bearingsbut I can't seem to remember what it was.The last converted Fatster I saw was originally a wrecked '93 sportster custom. That may have been why there was an issue with the bearings.
