Default mini apes on a Fat Bob?
Anyone have a pic of a Fat Bob with Mini Apes on it? The stock bars look to rigid too me. I like more of a laid back look.

That is a sweet looking ride, the bars look like the Wild1's I have on my WG,
If I was to do things over I would have a Fat Bob with a Wide Glide front end and apes. Sort of the way I built my WG.

excuse my ignorance but what benefit would there be to putting a wideglide front end on my Fat Bob? Should I consider it?

Did not mean to imply you should, was just thinking out loud so to speak. I just like the look of the slight rake of a Wide Glide, but I like the look of the Fat Bob too, so to combine would be my ideal bike.
