All I can say is I know it's been done.People either love or hate the "bobtail" I'm not a big fan but that's why I bought a Street Bob instead of a Wide glide.

I ordered my 07 Wide Glide with the drop fender. I have never been a fan of the bobtail. I replaced the 2 up seat with a solo. with the rounded look of the drop down it looked very good. However now the old lady want to get out with me, I had to put the 2 up seat back on and a *&#$ sissy bar. As soon as she gets her own bike I'm going back to a solo cruiser. Good luck
