Street bob with Fat bob front end?
Does anyone know if it is at all possible to take a street bob and change the triple trees and legs and basically put a fat bob front end on it. Im looking for the street bob look with the fat front tire. I really like the old school bobber look. Also want to run some nice white walls front and rear. Let me know if you have any info.

Yeah that is pretty much what i want to do. Any advice on the best way to go about it. I would also like to powder coat the trees and lowers to match the rest of the bike. The only difference that i want to do is run white wall tires. Give it that real old school look. Any info you have would be awsome.

Wide Glide trees with 3deg rake. 16X3.5 Front Wheel. 150/80-16 Front Tire. The bike pictured also has a 16X4.5 rear wheel w 170/70-16 tire. You'll also need a WG axle and spacers and the caliper needs to be shimmed out from the fork lugs in order to match up with the rotor. Good Luck!

Would it work if I took the front end from a fat bob and mounted it on my bob. I have talked to a few people at the dealer where i work but no one is really 100% sure. Im looking for the look of the fat front end. What did it cost you to do all of that to your bike. Front end wise.

Not my bike but I did nearly the same thing only with a 21" front and 120 front tire, 18" rear wheel and 180 tire. Total cost was right at $2000
