Title: Fatbob Fenders?
Post by Hell, Billy on 10/26/07 at 20:06:46

Anybody use a Fatbob/ Fatboy fender for a rear on your Suzi? I`m talking the ones w/ a flip for the 16" wheels, they are about 7" wide.

I am thinking of maybe using a front wheel Bob for a rear, tho maybe a rear Bob?

Is there gonna be too much of a radius difference, is it gonna look stupid? I like the looks of my bike but the last couple feet are a real clusterphucque of too much stuff like the fake braces, light and the totally FU plate mount. I wanted to get an aluminum fender for the back but I`m coming up empty for a 7" w/ a good radius and I ain`t going for the diamond plate look.....

Any pics of Savages w' FatBobs?

Thanks,

Bill

the savage 15" wheel with that phat tire should be very close to the same outside diameter as the 16" with a 130 used on the HDs, i wouldn't give it a 2nd thought

Man , I just discoved a world of Vulcan and V-Star fronts for 16" wheels w/ and w/o the flip. I`m gonna keep digging and see if there`s any ABS black ones out there. I seem to recall checking out some jap cruisers w/ plastic fenders.

If I could find black color impregnated ABS, I`d never need to paint `em. There maybe some 15" ones for a rocker mount. I`m on a mission.

Thanks,

Bill

Yeah, that`s the look I want only on the rear, tho.

Thanks,
