Also, check out SDC's Fat Bob build, they put mids on theirs. I was just there a couple days ago to check it out.
No, sorry.

Today I got the mid controls on the brake side done, and started the primary side. Used take offs from a street bob and worked just fine. I had to break for the night but am hoping to have it done when I get time tomorrow or Tuesday.

So what you need are either take offs or to just order the street bob parts.

They might be just regular Street Bob controls. My understanding of the situation is that you can't retrofit a Fat Bob with Street Bob mids because the stock exhaust won't let them fit. V&H replaced the exhaust, so maybe the Street Bob mids will fit with that exhaust mounted.

No, it wasn’t :/ I ended up going back with the two brothers 2-1. After I had just sold it too.

Out of curiosity did you have any issue mounting or getting it to fit? Can you post some close ups?

99% done with the mids. Just have to put the battery back in.

I'll swap mids with someone. Less than 200 miles on my bike.

Actually, I haven't even to begun to tear down my new Fat Bob. It's been in my garage, unridden with ZERO miles since April 20th. I'm still waiting for my new Handy lift to arrive, hopefully the end of the week, it's in transit now. The CHD pipe is the only thing that has arrived from what I have ordered and more than likely, the pipe will be one of the last things I install.

Once I've installed it, I will definitely post up some pics of the fitment for you.

Are you willing to swap inner and outer primaries as well? If so, I might be interested. Also, know that I'm not tearing into my bike build for another week or so. If you are good with this and think you still might want to do the swap...hit me up with a PM and we'll discuss further.

Default Gear side
All the posts are of the brake side, can someone post a pic of mids on a 2018 Fatbob from the shifter side?

If someone with a 2018 street bob were to swap their mids with someone who has a 2018 fat bob.
Do the rear brake master cylinders, shifter linkage and anything else need to be removed or just the mid brackets, brake arm and shifter arm?
