My Favorite FAT BOB around the block! loving the look with the 19" conversion, so you said it was a straight bolt on project, and im curious about it, really no other hardware mount, bearings or something else needed ??
With this conversion no need to look for a Low rider S anymore!

I know FLS 103 doesn't come on here often but to answer your questions, yes it's a direct bolt on with no other hardware needed. I did it on mine as well following suit but the wheel I got was warped or bent or just cast with a hump in it so I returned it to the seller and got my money back.
Haven't gone down that road again but I now found a 2020 RGS wheel that I'm interested in so may be trying it again. One thing to keep in mind is the front fender will look good from the side but looking at it from the front, it reminds me of a kid wearing his dad's hat. It's just a bit too wide is all. Apparently FLD 103 swapped his with a LRS fender and that was a direct bolt on as well. Good luck. The Fat Bob does look great with the 19" front wheel.
Appreciate your reply man!
I think that the 19" front wheel will fill the nimble gap that i miss over my Dyna Street bob,
Do you know what other models will being a direct bolt on swap?

From what's in his first post, FLS103 states any touring model front wheel from 09 and up should be a direct fit.

One thing to keep in mind about the LRS front fender when using it with the 19" touring stock diameter 130/60 front tire. It will look good from the front but looks awkward from the side. The LRS fender will have a huge gap because it was made to be used with a 110/90 tire which is about 2" taller.
This was not a problem for me as I intended to and did go with a 110/90 front. The issue with the 110/90 was that it's really designed for a wheel with a Max width of 3" and the touring wheel was 3.5". I got it to mount and seal but it just didn't quite look right and because the tire was spread out it was real easy for me to run out of tread because of the way I lean.
Ended up with a 120/70 front. Fender gap looked good from the side and the width looked good from the front. The 120/70 also mounted easily and had the correct profile as it was designed for a 3.5" wide wheel.
I ran Metzler Cruisetec tires because they ran a little taller than other brands and I have always liked their tires. Excellent profile on these if you like the twisties.

This Fat Bob would eat a LRS for lunch and still be hungry. True story, proved multiple times. The LRS had the short rear shock which kills clearance. FXFBs has the long shock, I added extensions and taller tires.
