My vote is it would ruin the Fat Bob. May look OK on other bikes... but please, don't do it on a Fat Bob.

OMG !!!! Yes it would RUIN your Fat Bob !! Forgt about it's sweet twisty road handling (for a Harley cruiser). Forget about it's 1950's retro look.

I honestly can't see how a Fat Bob could get any uglier, but that might just do it.

Okay, how's this? No, don't do it. You Fat Bob would most certainly lose it's unique styling.
