I saw an Anniversary Street Glide (or one of those fancy bikes ~ lol) with an 18" (or larger white wall tire on the front, but it wasn't very wide... definately not a 200).

DAMN YOU............ LOL I think your right.. What about doing a 16 rear and a 19 front I know Metz makes a 130/19 whitewall and I can still use the 180/16 whitewall from a 09 RKC. So a 16 rear and a 19 front it may give the Fat Bob a nice stance... Or... I should just stay with my original idea 16' font and rear with some fat *** tires..

Should I just go with a 180 front and rear whitewall can I fit the 180mm on the front not sure but I can go for a fat exile cycle look a big 180 whitewall in the front may look mean as hell...

I hear ya... I really dig that single headlight you got powdered....

I think I am gonna stick with my original idea chrome Spokes 16's front and rear and run the 09 RKC whitewalls doing a big front wheel is nice I ran a 21 on my chop but the fat bob has that Fat stance for a reason I want to keep true to the original look of the Fat Bob . For an exhaust its between the Samson Street Sweepers or the BUB Straightaways Long both in chrome and I will wrap them with Black wrap add a nice chrome Goodson aircleaner..

I am thinking for bars I realy like the drag bars very comfortable but I am wonderning if I should do maybe some beach bars for that old school look or maybe some 18" apes???

Anyway this was another idea I had since I am bored and what to do some stuff to this bike NOW......

What about these two options????

How about the stockers powder coated black with the whitewalls from a 09 RKC + powder the headlight and maybe the rocker boxes + some Black Samson Street Sweepers or Chrome Street Sweepers with black wrap....

OR

Just add the whitewalls to the stockers the way they are, and go for Chrome Street Sweepers and go for that look...
