Default A customized FatBob
Does anyone have any pictures of a FatBob with a custom rear fender and fat tire? I'd like to get rid of my stock, ugly back fender. And I think I'd like a 200mm back tire.

I am having trouble finding pics of a FatBob with a custom rear fender.

I have yet to find anyone who has done a wider tire on the Fat Bob. Would love to see one, but with so much out there on the wider tires that come stock it's hard to find anyone doing anything custom.

If you do a search on here, someone has put a 200mm on the rear of a Fat Bob, worked fine on the stock rim without changing anything. I have not done, just read the post a while back

So a 200 will fit on the stock rim. Good to know. Any room for a wheel change to go bigger?

Can't imagine what you'd want to replace it with. Would you have rather gotten a street bob, or glide all together?

I was wondering the same thing.

You only need about 5/8s of an inch to go 20mm bigger. I think the stock swing arm has that.

I think this would be a nice replacement, with a side mount plate.
