Looks awesome! Love the look of the blacked out heat shield and the saddle bags! Post pics once the windshield is on. Looks great! Congrats!

Looks great - but please tell us more about that licence plate holder. Where did it come from? It looks good!

Also - once you get the windshield fitted, let us know about helmet buffeting at highway speed.

Congratulations! Enjoy the hell out of a fantastic bike!

Hi guys, thanks!

The license plate holder/light was added by the dealer per my request. I saw it on another Bob they where building and I needed the same on as the towbar was fugly as hell!
It came from another HD, they made some bracket and viola!

Any chance you can get more info from the dealer about what model it came off of and how hard it is to install on the Fat Bob?
