Again, speaking of SOA and every yuppie wannabe out there copying the style...one of my friends that doesn't even ride mentioned just yesterday that people are gonna think that "I" copied the SOA bikes to look like theirs!! Damn!! Oh well, it doesn't matter really does it? Atleast the producers of this show did a little research and actually got something right for a change.
Still, I hope it doesn't catch on.
Sick, what do you think about putting the HD 1/4 fairing on my bike? Really been thinking about that from the beginning. I think it would look good and probably help with the wind a lot more!

i think the hd faring would look good on your bike. You would have to find a way to mount it. i think the ness faring might be easier to mount. either one will look good. As far as the wind, I noticed a small differences.

I had a h-d quarter fairing on my old sportster and loved it , I keep hoping they will come out with one to accomodate the dual head lights on my fat bob . it is suprising how much air the fairing deflects.

Default The apple does not fall far from the tree.

Wouldn't you know it!!! 40 years ago I was a 1% guy and then life took a few turns and twists, decades passed and here I am with a Dyna that I knew what I wanted to do with it, way before I saw the "Thug Bike" thread and have never watched SOA (think I'll order the series, sounds like a good'un) and here I am building a bike that is being called a Club Bike. Go figure!!

I'm going to use the Rifle Roadster with the smoked standard windshield. Ain't life grand.
Ohlin shocks (I think) progressive springs for the front end, probably the other side disc brake and paint in the winter. The V&H ProPipe, drag bar, seat rail and highway pegs for another place to put my feet and....Yes...Life IS good.

Default Arlen Ness fairing on a Fat Bob

Hi guys,
this how my Fat Bob looks like with an Arlen ness quarter fairing.
Never saw any pictures of a similar mod on a bike like this so I thought it could be of help.
Cheers!

I have wanted a 1/4 fairing on my FatBob but I dont want to change to a single headlight-I like how bright it is and how its different from all the other models.

Cmon HD and Ness-hook us up!!??
