Default Upgrades to my Fat Bob

Hey everyone, kind of a new guy here but been creeping around for a while on the Forum. I have an '08 HD Fat Bob that I would like to add a few things to, mainly a sissy bar and passenger foot rests (not pegs, I have those) and possibly a fairing/windshield.

Can someone point me in the direction of where I may be able to order these parts, I can do the install myself but am having a real hard time finding what fits. I can find TONS of stuff for Street Bob but seems that the Fat Bob is not so easy to find after market goodies for.

Thanks in advance!

search the forum, lots of info on here.

you can try the batwing fairing. there is some upsides and downsides if you read into it. mainly I believe its to flimsy highway driving. I stuck with the windshield on mine. does what its suppose to. dealer I think is the best place to get it, but get the quick disconnect hardware with it. go to show and shine or something, or just cruising around town, bike looks really good cleaned up without the windshield.

confused on the passenger foot rest, but not pegs??? arn't they one in the same? or do you mean the mounts that the footpegs attach to? if you need them, I have a set, powdercoated black, only used for one season, still looks new.
