Default Retro Fat Bobs

Anybody do any retro mods to their Fat Bobs? Springer seats, retro fenders etc? Would love to see some pics of the fatty gone old-school.

Well mine is a work in progress..............I have to get a hold of another camera to take more recent photos of it.

I switched out the little solo seat for an older seat-pan and covered it with saddle leather, along with tank and fender bibs (all tan live oak saddle leather), I changed pipes to stainless two into ones (not sure if I'm leaving them or putting the V&H's back on). I am looking into a springer for a winter project.

Looks good. What kind of headlight do you have on there?
