I don't use tire sealants. That said, I have looked into them, Ride-On is one of the best. I don't like the mess when changing tires and I use tire pressure monitors (Fobo Bike 2) that I don't want full of sealant.

Appreciate the reply.

I use Fobo also. Didn’t think it would be a problem with Fobo...here is what Ride On says about TPMS:

Getting back to Fat Bob fun - really liking the stage 2 torque cam idea



Thank you!

I've been running it on my last two tire changes. I ride a lot, and the prospect of picking up a nail or screw in the tire would just be so irritating and inconvenient that I figure the flat protection of Ride-On is worth it.

Additionally, the glue Harley uses on the Fat Bob wheel weights seems inadequate, several of us reported loose or lost wheel weights, so Ride-On's balancing capability doesn't hurt; it can re-balance your wheel on the fly, helpful if you lose a weight or if your tire wears unevenly.

Is it possible to do this with a standard fat bob? (adding smaller risers/fighter bars)
Will it clear the standard tank/ tacho?
