Question Fat bob owners

Hey guys I loved the look and the options on the Fat bob and went and Demo"done. I wanted to like it so much but that big tank and my 30" inseam made it way uncomfortable for me. I wanted to like it so much. Rode the wide glide also with the forwards and it fit great. Any body have a fatbob have to change anything to make it fit. I loved that wide glide but like the dual front discs and the bigger tire in the front on the bob. I'll be happy with the glide but would rather have the bob , any input would be great.

I think he was saying that the fatbob tank was to wide for him. I had the same problem when i rode a yamaha warrior.

Don't they use the same tank? I thought that the only difference between them was the front end. Does the wide glide sit higher than the fatbob in the front?

i have a fat bob with FC and a 27 inch inseam the tank took a sec to get use to and the FC were a bit of a reach and at 60mph + it was hard to keep my feet on the pegs so i got mini floorboards and now have no issues and love my bob.

the wideglide has the lowrider tank, the fatbob has a fatbob tank. the older wideglides had the fatbob tank as well. If it won't fit you, not much you can do without spending some $$.

Thanks for the input guy's.Rounder thats what I was afraid of ,didn't want to spend more coin making it fit. Wideglide was sweet but I thought the braking and handling was a lot better on the bob.
