RE: Fat Bob Mods

you can get progressive springs for the front to lower it and thus level it out. This way you could retain most of your handling.

RE: Fat Bob Mods

I like that fender so much better than the stock version. Can anyone tell me the width of the stock fender. I assume I could get a Jesse James or Milwaukee Iron fender to replace if I knew the width. Trying to strike a deal on a FB in the next couple weeks and thinking about how I would like to change it up.

RE: Fat Bob Mods

I think adding a bit of rake is a great idea, bump that tire out a bit and I think it will look awesome!!

Ican can tell you how, but dont think it would be cost effective to send it.

If you have specifics, that would be cool. I mean, I already know you widen it an inch.

So basically, the fender is 9" wide now? Did you look into any of the afterfender (blanks)?

Please, please, please tell us where we can get the rear fender!
It is the right fender which all Fat Bobs should have in my book!
Well done.

RE: Fat Bob Mods

When I picked up my Fat Bob, I talked to the dealer about lowering it and they said an option for lowering the front end was to simply loosen the triple tree clamps and slide the forks up a little. Not really sure how it would look but it could be worth a shot. I would think as long as you don't go over board it probably wouldn't look bad.
