Absolutely, most positively, without a doubt even in the deepest darkest corner of my mind, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would look horrendous on a fat bob. Please, if you love your Fat bob at all, don't do it! That would be a true mutant. But hey, thats just my opinion. Do what makes you happy!

While I always scoff a bit @ raked fork/triple tree kits, that brand is particularly hideous.

Kinda like puttin lipstick on a pig...or in this case a HOG!
