Rocket Bob's voodoo fender to the rescue!

YEAH MAN!! That's exactly what I was saying on one of the other threads. I just couldnt remember which 80's sport bike it looked like.

The rear of the Fat Bob is what stopped me from buying one so I went with the Street Bob. Now this is a little better but it looks too 80's Japanesey. Why not a regular HD fender that people will be able to work it to their taste....Oh...unpainted versions for only $459.69, mounting kit extra.

I thought it looked rediculous until I saw one at the dealer, it may grow on some people.

Put 14" shocks on it and it may look tracker style.

Just in case you missed it ..

I'm not sure why there is so much disappointment. Everything a manufacturer makes isn't going to please everyone. Personally, it would be one of my picks if I were looking for a new bike. I'm liking the Fatbob more and more when I see it, older model and the new.

I like ugly, the more people hate it, the more I like it. Plus it doesn't look like everything else, you know what it is.
