I'm also looking for a set of Street Bob strut covers for my Fat Bob.
The Fat Bob frame struts are the same length as the Street Bob.
I'm using two Low Rider rear fenders for my project. I've started by cutting one fender in half, down the middle. I stripped my FB rear end down to the frame struts and bolted each half of the cut fender to each frame strut. I then cut a 3" wide strip from the middle of the 2nd Low Rider fender and tack welded in place lapped over the two halfs of the first fender. I test fitted a SB solo seat to align the center strip on the two half sections.
I'll finish it up by filling in the tail light hole for a smooth 'shaved' look, go with a side mount license plate and a 'run-stop-turn' signal module for the stock turn sigs.
I'll probable powder coat the turn sigs black and go with no strut covers (like the 09 SB) unless I can get a set of SB covers.

that sounds sweet, do have any photos? I'd love to it in progress.

I'll go for a set of brushed SB struts. I don't have a chrome trade though, I'm keepin' my FB stuts with the fender.
