RE: My new fat bob - PERFECT

Does anyone know if the Fat Bob has the 49mm dyna forks with wide glide triple trees? Could be a way to widen my Street bob front end

Big front tires soak up the road much nicer than skinny ones. I am sure it will handle quite well with that front tire.

wow...the more pics I see of the Fat Bob ...the more I like it.
I notice you have forward controls.
I'm only 5'7....do you think the forwards wouldbe too much of a reach forme on this bike?

I don't understand why you couldn't order one with forward controls....??
Is your 'fix' a conversion kit of some kind?
Also, I agree the denim black looks awesome...but if you look at the Harley website...all colours look good on this bike.

Well through the ENCS program Harley gives them a certain amount of bikes to allocate to their customers. So you can't technically special order one with the options you wan't...You can only order from available stock....but I'm not complaining, because I got one hell of a deal...The kit Im gonna buy from a member on here is basically the wide glide controls that harley sales aftermarket. They are listed in the PnA catalog to fit the Fat Bob...and or I was going to ask the guy that made this thread to possibly take some measurements for me. I run a machine shop in the army.. so it would be nothing for me to make a set...send em off to get chromed..I just dont wanna wait till I get home to do it!...
