We all know no bike is perfect as it comes off the floor. I've narrowed my next purchase down to 2 bikes, one is the Fat Bob (the other is the Slim, posted a couple questions on softail page). The only problem is that I do not like the bob rear fender. Seems like a swap to the WG rear fender would be fairly easy but then I'd need to change out the rear tail/brake light set-up as well as the plate mount. That will run into a few pennies.

Are there other options I should consider from those that have changed out fenders? If I go with the FXDF I'll also go with the Bassani Road Rage short 2-1 exhaust & an improved a/c along with the appropriate remap.

Thanks for your ideas/suggestions, ride safe.

 

i did the fender swap and i am really glad i got a fat bob.

i liked everything else on the stock fat bob except the fender.

also along with the fender i put a solo street bob seat.

here is a pic i took today.

 

That looks real good. They should come from the factory like that.

 

Fender from Dyna Super Glide widen with 1 inch. You need skills: metal forming and welding ...

 

roneil that does look perfect, pm sent.

 

Doc4545: get the Fatbob... Stock, it's a better handling' bike than the slim... With a few mods (true track/stage 1), it'll kick it's ***!

 

i agree, but then we would miss on the fun modifying it.
