Well you know I ride a 1999 TC Lowrider but it's 75% Evo in any case.


Not having 17,000 NZD to spare for a second hand Fatbob (I just love the way they look) I decided to gather some parts and make my own because a Fatbob is just a Lowrider with a nose Job.


Anyway...here it is, finally finished!


You can do this with an Evo too if you like that sorta thing....which I do

It actually looks better than a real Fat Bob.

FWIW, I hate the way a real Fat Bob looks. It's right up there with a Switchback in my opinion.

I'm sure that front end soaks up the roads (or lack there of) much better. Kinda curious how many Fat Bobs are sold over seas? Seams to be a popular bike in Europe anyway.

Do those dual headlights light up the road better? Sweet looking ride you got there.

And I never pegged Spanners as a cat man. Look at that thing, on the prowl!

The headlights are better than the stock one but take a while to get adjusted properly. they are not as good as I thought they would be so might switch to daymakers at some point.
