thanks, all the green is just a wrap. Most of it turned out pretty good, the tank did not lol. Having no experience with wrapping made it difficult for sure but I kinda just wanted to see if I liked it.

glad I’m not the only one, also I thought I was done for now but after readythis thread I found a 5 gallon tank for 250 on eBay so I’m gonna give that mod a go. Plus it’ll give me a chance to redo the shitty wrap job on the tank

i like how the dark ages line of bags is all black buckles but I’m not sure I’m a fan of the construction of them. It’ll probably hold up well but I’m just a huge fan of real high quality leather. Seeing how it’s my first bag I’m not sure how others will be but I did just order a leatherworks swing arm bag that is real leather. If I like it enough I’ll probably replace the fork bag with something from them

So they really did kill the Fab Bob for 2024? Sad.

If so then they just made our bike a hell of a lot more collectible.

I was in the local dealer yesterday and they did confirm the Fatbob for 2024 is no more.

I just received my Fat drag handlebar which is 1.25" and I need the shims for the 1.5" risers, Harley does not sell these anymore. Anyone has a set they want to sell, or have an idea as to where I can get one? What other options are there?
