Default 2018 Fat Rider S

Hey guys. After a lot of planning and patience, I finally finished my Fat Bob project. Managed to do all the work my self and pleased to say it came out way better than expected. After losing my low rider s in a T-bone accident and not being able to find another, I caved in and went to check out the new softails. Glad I did, cause they all handle much better than the last I'm sure most people who like the Fat Bob/ love dynas will disapprove, but idgaf. Anyhow, here's my Fat Bob S!

I like the rims, would you mind sharing where you picked them up?

I was fortunate to stumble across a good condition set on eBay! Real difficult to find these.

I sure did. I had to get a custom set made since there isn't a triple tree set available for 55mm/59mm trees.

I thought so too at first and almost bought a set of Speed Merchant triples. Luckily I had some doubt and brought out a caliper. Was glad I did, cause those triples aren't cheap. lol
I had a custom set made by CognitoMoto. For the same price as Speed Merchant, they offered a custom tree with a new steering stem and bearings. Good quality stuff I'd recommend to anyone looking to go that route. Let me know so I can hit them up.
My next issue to tackle, is to find a way to fabricate a front fender that will compliment the build....

I really like what you have done with your bike. It looks great and bet the ride is a lot of fun.
