To me, the front end looks too busy. Between the angles of the bars and the risers it's a little too much going on. Move the sigs to the fork legs. Between the mirrors and the sigs it's crowded up there. I would lose the bag, there's a lot going on and if it was mine I would clean it up.

I think you'll find out when the forks compress that bag hits the fender.

Aaaahhhh I don't think so. A Fat Bob has 1 forum my friend. It is the Softails that are split. "2018+ Softail" Models and "Softail Models". See below my friend.

Also, at the very top of this forum it shows that a Fat Bob is classified under Dyna Glide Models. See what I highlighted for you below.

Um, with all due respect that needs to be updated. The Fat Bob WAS a Dyna until 2017 at which point it became a Softail, evidenced by the hardtail style swingarm and single rear shock.

The new Fat Bob's are not Dyna glide models. different frame, different rear suspension, no rubber motor mounts.
