Fat Bob fender
Im trying to understand why everyone dislikes the Fat Bobs rear fender.
I think it makes the bike look long and slim.
It shows off that 180 tire nicely, the 200 when I change it out this spring.
Im wacking off the plate holder and putting on a side mount this week.
More eye pleasing fat tire.
Please explain.

Well obviously not everyone hates it but to my eye it doesn't seem to go with the rest of the bike.The dual headlights have kind of a modern street fighter look while the "bobtail" looks like it's trying to get an old timey Harley "chopper" look.Kinda like a Wideglide rear ended a Triumph Speed Triple going really fast.

Personally, I think it looks OK on the Fat Bob, but the new Wide Glide fender looks better. The reason I don't like it is it's not really a bobtail fender. It's just kind of flat.

Every time I see a stock Fat Bob my eye is alway drawn to the rear fender and I think, "Man that's a good lookin' bike".
