I figured people would hate it and not like it, but its what I want, so I built it. People can be so negative on here!

Maybe it has more of a Wide Glide feel to it now since you dispensed with the balloon tires and cross-eye headlight that are signature features of the Fat Bob ....

It almost seems like a cross between a vintage Wide Glide and late model ... it has the duck-tail fender, rake and 21" wheel of yesterday ... and the T-bars and blacked out theme give it a feel of today's Wide Glide ....

I guess you decided not to give up the second front disc ... might have bought you some goodwill with erstwhile haters ... LoL ....

I dig it ... looks good to me ... Congrats ...!

+1 on that. I think what everyone is thinking is what made it a Fat Bob is no longer there......

I personally think it looks pretty good. But would not have known it was a Fat Bob.

But i am going to phrase the question, would have been easier build to start with a W.G. platform? Not criticism, just question.....
