2013 fat bob project i been messin with for a few months

 

I put a 7" on mine, no picture atm. If you want the more standard dyna look go with the 5-3/4

 

Fatbob was one of the coolest HDs ever except for those awful bug-eyed head lights.

 

I've always liked the conversion to the 7" headlight on a Fatbob, I think it looks good. OTOH the 5 3/4" looks good on the wide fork also. Decisions, decisions. Either way will look good.


EDIT: I just looked at the pic more closely and see that you went with a narrower front wheel and tire. I think the 5 3/4" will look much better than the 7" in that case.

Good luck with it and please post more pics as you change it up.

 

I always felt the 7-in was too big, on my fat boy I took the 7-in off and went to a Sportster bucket can, if fits very nicely.. As for my Street Bob it has the stock 5 3/4" bucket and again fits very well. You got to remember that these are only eight and a half inch on center front ends basically called a mid glide..
What is the diameter of the the dual light on the Fatbob?

 

I always thought the 5-3/4" headlight looked too small. I got a 7" housing off a Fat Boy and put it on my Low Rider. The only issue was I had to cut the windscreen out to fit.

 

Here's 7"

edit; bars look like ****. Glad I got something tighter coming

 

im aiming for nothing fat bob left on it other then the wide front end lol ive had a ton of ppl ask me what it even is but then they see the dual headlight haha

Yeah i went with a 19" 110 up front, i haaated the 16" 130
I was debating the 5-3/4 because of that to actually. And with a 5-3/4 i can still use a wide glide front fearing of some sort to correct?

 

Yes without a doubt you can still use a wide glide fairing.. I love the white glide front end I switched mine over from an FL to a diner wide glide style front end. With the 5 and 3/4-in headlamp bucket off of a Sportster.. I personally think they go together very well. Some do some don't it's all good It's all about preference..

 

I went the other way, 4" from Exile Cycles. Really does suck in the dark, but it looks cool! Been up there for about 15 years.
