What do you guys think about those on a black Fat Bob? The 10" to 12" ones?

I saw a pic of a Fat Bob with mini apes but it had the stock risers and looked a little off. I guess if you swapped out the risers also it would look good.

Yeah, I'm not too hip on the stock risers either.

I would say a BIG Negitive... would not look right... maybe a set of flat trackers like Ed has on his bike would look cool... Although, it is your bike... if you feel you will be more comfortable with mini get em... before you do that though you should try getting some taller risers see how you like that

Fat Bob is a fat and wide bike, you´ll need fat and wide apes, and lose the front fender... Like on this Exile Hot Rod bike....

I saw one at Bike night here in NJ it was a Fat Bob Black denim with spokes nice old school tank emblems and I believe theywere the 12 carlinni's in black with joker machine controls they looked killer but he had a Street Bob rear fender on it he was running whitewalls so I think he probably had a 150 or 160 in the rear.. Anyway it looked I would have talked to the guy but he was on his cell phone for like 2 hours, but I think the spokes and rounded rear SB fender made the bike with the apes I am not so sure how it looks with the bob tail fender you know..
