I looked at 2 smaller rear lights from Arlen Ness one is 2 1/2 inches wide and the other is 1.20 inches wide. I've tried looking for a relocation kit but I just want to keep the same look in the rear. Maybe some of you gals and girls might have some knowledge on this subject, Thanks!
Because of the fat bobs longer fender every bag setup I've seen uses the two bolts and the signals are left untouched. And the factory signals are shorter than other models. I'd try the bags with the OEM signals and if they don't go for the ness ones.

2011 Fat Bob owner here. No question in my mind that the FXDF is the most badass dyna, and its right there in the thick of things as one of the best Harley's currently available. Again, my opinion, but I value my opinion pretty highly!! baha

Does anyone know if there are any Fat Bob dedicated forums out there? I havent been able to find any. I'd just like a large group of people who are looking to sell old parts, since the parts that fit on this bike are pretty exclusive to this bike. Finding a good, used sissy bar and pad is like finding gold sometimes. Its not easy.

I'm guessing "no". Those bags are obviously able to do the job, but they totally clash with every other mod you've made. No other part of your sweet bike has a '60s Land Rover motif.
