Have really enjoyed this thread thus far. Nice work.

The seat looks nice, I think you're right that the grey doesn't quite match up. May look better all black

Thanks! I've enjoyed making it!

Yeah, the OCD part of me is really bugged that the color is just ever so slightly off... you might be right about all-black. I think this seat is kinda pointless if you don't get the colored stripes. Otherwise, why not go with a more comfortable Le Pera? Or Mustang? I have a Le Pera Silhouette Deluxe Solo on order from J&P, so maybe that will do the trick.

There's only one seat for this build. RB's Weeli seat. It flows with the Voodoo and stops short up front so you don't have that issue with the lifted tank.

She's coming up a treat!!

Looks wise the le pera is great but i reckon you will want something a little more comfy. Looks hella narrow.

The larger tank on the fat bob means seats are harder to mount up under the tank, I'm guessing the tank lift makes this worse.

Have you tried removing the rear tank lift and seeing how it fits?

Also - my headlight bucket and belt guard are so coming off for black out treatment

Haven't tried removing the tank lift. I had the same thought. Hopefully I can find a way to have a seat AND a tank lift

Your bike is awesome - I agree that it would look great with a blacked headlight bucket and belt guard. DO IT.

I'm a new member, and a new 2013 FatBob owner. Honestly, I'm blown away by the project complexity, your patience, the finished product, and the support offered by this group. It is a pleasure to witness. Many thanks for taking the time to include us.

Still, I'm going to hold my head high when I get my new S&S Intake installed this weekend. My First step. Maybe some day I'll think bigger...

Not a damn thing wrong with a bone stock ride.
