i'd like to take you all in a slightlly different direction.
take 1 FatBob, swap dual headlights with a FatBoy 7" unit, put some RoadKind fenders on (front and rear), a descent beachbar and some white-walls.
what do you get?
the ultimate retro-duoglide!

RE: 2008 Fat Bob
The Fat Bobconfuses the begeezus outta me! I like it, I hate it! If I had to take a stand I would say that it looks kinda Frankenstein. Take a walk through the parts bins at HD pulling random partsand put them together. Then try to breathe life into it.
As it sits, it's not for me. But with some tweaks and changes, it's a good platform. But isn't any dyna a great starting platform?

RE: 2008 Fat Bob
Like seeing it on the dyna frame, It looks kinda like the frame my 64 pan was in and with the big tires it will probally sell real good. It should take the road good and handle pretty good also, and with the 96cu and the 6 speed transmission, a lot of things can be done to the bike. Bet !they sell more FAt Bobs than the rockers.
I bet with the forward controls the bike rides good.
Kinda like they took sort of a Fat Boy and stuck it in a dyna frame and streached it a little. I'd have to change the wheels oh !

I had a 1964 Duo Glide, and it was on a swingarm frame with shocks. It was a killer bike, mine was a kick start.
If I remember corectly it you got a electric start it was an electro glide.
