Sharknado fitted this weekend courtesy of @murphc13 … thank you sir!! 9” screen and already colour matched.

Also switched out my bars for a set of Thrashin’ 6.5” pullback risers with integrated gauge mount and the 4” rise mid bars.

Clutch cable is at its limit brake line just about reaches with some manipulation but I’ve got a custom line en route to replace it.

Overall v happy, but not ridden it yet and I’m away with work this week! Next weekend for the first test!

My version of a 2023 Bob.

- Rinehart cans.
- New 2" risers, lower and leaner.
​- Repositioned/ lowered OE mirrors.
- Blacked out frame bolts
- Black heat shield bolts.
- Chrome strut bolts.
- Home brew side plate relocation.
- LED signals
- Under fender brake light to fill gap and safety.
- Chin spoiler/ oil cooler protector


Spoiler

I'm undecided on the chin spoiler... Give me a thumbs up or thumbs down.

I love mine. Too bad there isn't a 2024 model.
Unfortunately the aftermarket is limited for the FatBob, but they aren't seen just everywhere. I really lived the fat front end on these.

There isn't a 2024 in the USA & Canada, but in other territories around the world the Fat Bob lives on as a 2024 model.
