Default Street bob CONVERSION! Help required
Hi,
I want to convert the front look of my Street bob 2015 to that of a Fat bob.

1.Can I replace the wheel & tyre of my street bob with the one's on Fat bob?

2.Can I put the latest Fat bob headlight on my Street bob?

3.If yes, please list out the requirements?

Thank you HD Men & Women

The Street Bob uses a mid-glide front end while the Fat Bob has a wide-glide front end. Someone may prove me wrong but I don't believe a Fat Bob front wheel will fit the mid-glide forks. You'll need to swap the fork clamps to a wide-glide, swap the fork lowers to have the right side caliper mount, and of course a different axle to go along with the wider wheel.

The headlamp should be a fairly easy swap.

Hey Thank you fro reply. It all makes sense. I guess its a un-necessary job as well, might as well trade in the bike for the FB. Thank you again!

But there is no fun in just trading... make it what you want

Super glide custom, with fatbob trees and fender, wideglide sliders and hub, rims from an Electraglide Ultra laced onto the wideglide hub.
