hi,

I'm selling a set of street bob wheels (standard laced) and a lot of people are asking if they will fit a fatbob,

can anyone advise?

 

You can make anything fit anything if you have: skill / time / money.

Will they simply 'bolt up'.. no.

Street Bob hub is a single disc. Fatbobs are dual disc.

Now then you could get a dual disc hub, and lace the street bob rims to it... making sure of course that your discs line up with the calipers. Lot's of measuring...etc.

 

The Street Bob hub is dual disk...Lining the calipers up on a wheel made for a narrow glide in wide glide trees may be something else...

 

Sorry, but I have to. Can't help it.

Dyna Street Bob or Softail Street Bob?
Dyna Fat Bob or Softail Fat Bob?

 

street bobs went to mid glides.. forget the year

 

Um.. unless it's been modified... the StreetBob is a single disk. I don't think you can simply unbolt that hub-cap and bolt on another disk.

The OP can't use that hub, which was my point... need a dual-disk hub with the width of a wideglide... a heritage hub might work well.

 

Yes it will fit. An old friend of mine put fat bob (wide glide trees) on his street bob to use with his street bob wheel. I believe he just got the appropriate spacers.

 

Actually, yes you can. The SB comes stock with a dual disk hub...I have one. It is as simple as bolting on another disk.

Here is a magazine article on it:

It's always a good day when you learn something... dang, so you can take that cap off.... .. same hub as the regular FXD/C...

EDIT:
Re-read the article... they used fatbob lowers, but did not change the trees... so my original thought, even tho the FXD hub can mount a rotor... they will be spaced a bit from from the caliper.... so you'll need to put thick spacers either between the rotor and hub, or off the caliper mounts, to do as the OP asked originally... neither is a good idea.

 

Yep...That was in my original reply as well.
