Default Thanks!

Thanks everyone... a few more pics attached - this time with direct shots from the rear and sides.

I'm very pleased with all the changes. Not too many miles on the bike yet, but so far I'm pleasantly surprised with how well it rides. I used Bel-Ray 15wt fork oil when I did the front end. Still working on the front fender bracket, which needs to lift the fender up and slightly rearward.

Man that looks terrific. Obviously I'm a fan of the WG fender, but other than that, you rank up there with the best Fat Bobs on the forum. Nice work.

Very clean and tasteful. All the mods flow together beautifully. How is handling affected with changed front end geometry? How do Rush pipes sound? Congrats.

What gives? This is the second time someone has raked out a Fat Bob and dumped a bunch of money into it making it look bad *** only to sell it right after its finished. The last one was VERY similar looking but all black.

?? I really want to do this to mine but the sudden unexplained sale of both bikes with no reply to the question of how the bike handles after the rake and bigger front wheel, has got me wondering.

I know the bike you're referring to. I contacted mgoblue06 regarding his build BEFORE his bike was for sale. His bike was an inspiration for this build as I loved the look, but chose different mods. The only similarities are the 5 degree rake and the PM wheels, and that it's a Fat Bob. It wasn't until AFTER I purchased everything for my bike that he placed his for sale.

People have different reasons for selling. I'm starting a family and have no time to ride, and need the money for a family vehicle. Quite simple really.
