I put them on my 07' Wideglide and they are the best mod I have done. Very simple install. I took my time and did it in about 45 minutes. Be aware that they will not work with some exhaust such as the 2-1 on newer Wideglides without modification.

I was just thinking of doing this to my Fatbob the other day. But $400 is a but steep. Let us know how the install goes and what you think of them after.

As I mentioned to OP, WILL NOT work with some exhaust. So be careful and do the research before you buy.

Thanks for all the replies - looks like good news. I was away for a few weeks, but I'm hoping to get working on this pretty soon. Sounds like it won't be much trouble at all (famous last words).

I don't see why these will not fit on my 12 FB as, in the catalog, it doesn't say they will NOT fit an FXDF! SOOOooo, I ordered them anyway and will get back to you guys on results! It may be something they left out...who knows! BTW, I have forwards from the factory so will have extra parts in the kit like the longer shift link, longer brake rod and such! Crossing fingers now!
The problem is they will not work with STOCK exhaust without modification. Several have installed them on WideGlides and Fatbobs by building "spacers" to move the exhaust side mounts out just a bit to clear the exhaust. Good luck with yours it will be worth the extra effort to get them on. |
Would like to see pictures of these installed if anyone has some.

I installed them on my 12 Fatbob. Had to grind a portion of the heatshield to accommodate the rear support. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...c7dd0a2b98.jpg

I installed the pipes first. Loosely installed the rear bracket so I would know where to notch the heat shield. Then removed the heat shield. Make sure to notch it big enough or the heat shield will rub on the bracket when the engine torques.
