That is one thing that has always been tweaking me out for some reason on my FB as well only I bought $700 axle covers instead (saddle bags). Looks perfect as a quick fix.

Also, the accessories have been updated on the HD web site that include 'new' rear axle covers that fit our model........supposedly.

Excellent! And this is coming from a guy that just ordered about $70 worth of axle
covers from the MOCO today!

Cheers... Ben.

As we all know there is almost nothing listed yet for the Fatbob so decided to make my own temp covers.


Not sure if you know or not but the axle covers that are listed 06 dyna and up will work on the Fat Bobs as well. Just a FYI.

The detergent was one of those liquid ball things for washing clothes .. called Persil over here.


I was told by someone else on here that the axle size is different and the only covers available for the Fatbobwere the skull ones................ Yes / no ???

I think I did list it on MUD's under fifty thread but the thread is so long now I can't find it.



Thanks for all the comments guys ......love this inventing lark !!!

Watch this space for my designer luggage rack for under $20 { work in progress }

Great idea, nice work TARTAN2.

That's the first I've seen gaiters on a Fat Bob. Whomakes the gaiters and force brace you have on your bike? Have you had any issues with the front fender rubbing?
