Anyone know of a bag that would fit the 2018 fat Bob? Also maybe aftermarket slip ons, windshield, speakers, sissy bar?
You should be OK with a standard Softail swing arm bag if you don't want to carry too much.
Can't find any aftermarket slip ons yet, but the MoCo 2018 Parts & Accessories catalog shows a windshield for the18 Fat Bob, plus sissy bar, rack etc...as well as their own Street Cannon slip ons.
OK, so purchased the 2018 Fat Bob last week and have put a tool bag by The Leatherworks on the lower left hand tube that runs to the rear axle and it fits and works great. This carries my legal paper and my Wiley X sun glasses kit, tools and a few other things. OH a cell phone too if needed.
Then, I checked and the same company has a bag they sent me that fits to the left side nicely that is a swing arm bag type but will require a custom bracket to the left side fender bracket if I want to mount it there.
The important thing is it will fit, allow for a passenger and still work in nicely in front of the left side turn signal.
Hope that helps. I'll post photos when I figure out how to.
There is a company out of Italy called "ends cuoio" that is making high end leather bags for the new 2018 softail. They have a pretty nice swing arm bag. They also have a pretty nice bag made specifically for the new fat bob
Awesome bag, and Bike ! great color . careful on your increased lean angles, I've worn through a swingarm bag in a heartbeat leaning on a softail that didn't go as well as your awesome new 18.

:-) I hear you on that! Kind of worried about it to be honest, but I haven't scraped it. Yet....
EDITED to say: And when I plan to do serious twisties, I will probably take the bag off first and use a backpack or something!
