Hey cobber

Wanna get urself a True Trak if ya want it to handle nice... plenty of info on here.  Footpegs scrape if ya lean it so pending on your legs you might have to move em.  Progressives are shit in my opinion I put them in mine but no good until you go heavier oil with those back shocks.  Recommend Silkolene 20w Synthetic and make your spacer in the forks longer to compress the spring heaps.  Once again plenty of info on here if you do a search how to set em.  Stix has racetech and gold valves which if you wanna have it sweet would be worth the $$.   Fill your tail light up with silicon and foam as water will piss in it when you ride in the wet.  Take the tail light off you will see the holes.  Front brakes are ordinary when you first ride it IMO so pull the calipers while new and squeeze the pad right in, lever em out with a screw driver to get back on the disc , light bleed for air bubbles and you will stop a train. Brake fluid does not fill the back of the seal and creates an air bubble.  Dealer no nothin about it.  Tyres are OK but I am not the man to test em to limit so they do me. 

Ya pipe should be good, air cleaner good, use the tuner the bloke who tunes ya bike recommends (its not the tuner its the tune) plenty of info on here on that fuggin topic!

Other than that mate my FB has been sweet ..........

Happy ridin!! Jam

so far I've had no issues with the tyres...... but I don't ride like Stoner....much ........ my SE pipes have touched a couple of time in tight bends or after hitting a decent bump mid bend....put a SERT 2 in & the SE air filter with nice results.... what ever ya do ya miles ahead already by simply buying the best Harley ever built ....

Brake is just soft and grabs late which some blokes like..... personally like it to come on quick.  Guess its just personal preference mate see how ya go..... TTS seems the goods for all the self tuners here so you are good to go........  The bike is good mate so reckon you will be happy!  Cheers Jam

Hey TulingaMick
I have recently sold my Fatboy - the Fatbob is also going to be my next harley - V +H 2 to 1 pipes, Stage 1, S/E Air Filter, TTS etc
I was going to see how it handles on the way from Nelligen to the Bodalla pub, then make up my mind about suspension.
I have a price on a 2010 Bob in Vic for 27 going to get it soon as I can, might see you on the road.

Hey Firey

the bike your describin is exactly what im riding (2008)   22000 k and running like a clock put a thicker fork oil in at 15000 has made it a bit tighter all other suspension is stock

would like to catch ya on the road someday but for that to happen we would probley both be lost !!!

Hey Pisspour - I'm wishing I did get mine last year now, does your V + H pipes scrap easily, and do you ride it like Turlinga Mick?
If I ever get away from work and buy a Bob - Turlinga Mick and I might get lost on the way to W.A
I was the 1st of my local Mates to buy a Fatty - years ago now - then one mate got one - then 2 more got em - now there a Dozen of them scooting about on Good Harleys and I'm hating life - saved the penny's though! I'm ready to go and going to come out swinging.

Turlingamick have you seen the post on headlights in Dynas, easy to put both lights to low beam.

I know the Clyde well, I live between the foot of the mountain and the Nelligen Pub (which has been sold) at last.

Hey Firey

No exhaust dont scrape V &  H 2-1  but footpegs do  (after market switchblades)

As for the head lights never did like the frogs eyes (almost put me off buying it) but have now got a 6inch single on the way from U S along with some 6 inch risers with slight pullback to relax my little arms

The factory seat is bloody good but I got hold of a streetbob solo seat as well (streetbob guys get rid of em to take pillion) the solo is hard compared to bob seat but drops you down and forward a little make the bike handle heaps better for me

Are you 5,8 tall like me, I'm going to sue the government for making the Kerb and gutter to high!!  evert time I step of I hit my arse.

Thanks for the info, I am going the same pipes, will suss out a seat when the time comes

 

Had my Fatbob 18 months now, these are the changes i have made and i am very happy with the bike
Progressive fork springs
Avon tyres front and rear
103 cubic inch
Thundermax with auto tune
Bub 7 slip ons
Detachable sissy bar
Sundowner seat for longer rides
K&N heavy breather

Grot can you put up some pics I want to see what the Bub slip ons look on the Fatbob
Cheers

ok Firey
I am not very computer savvy but will have a go for you

Hey Gents My left ball dropped on Saturday so I went and bought this Fatbob 11/08 Mod Fatbob Sydney Item no. TP003317174 Trading Post
Farrrrkn great

Now Im looking for a stage 3 kit - I can't ride it like I could ride the Fatboy, I used to be able to hammer on the back road to Goulburn on the fat, not this one yet!! Ive only riden it home though - going out now for another go

I picked up this Fatbob 11/08

Yes very happy with it - going to throw a few $$ into the motor in August

very nice old m8... best bike in the fleet .....

Cheers Toxic - to bad your working on the wknd mate, it would have been good to have another cruise about with you, funny how we both sold our bikes and picked the same, I think I made the right move , what about you?

mick, ikon 12.5 inch on the rear and progressive springs (not harley) on the front with 20w fork oil. Check your engine alingnment as both my streetbob & my mates fatbob were way out, look under vibration in these threads, i shimmed out both engine mounts and had motors aligned out buy approx 10mm on the top engine mount made a shitload of difference. Six piston aussie made calipers for the front will haul her up. cheers wombat

ps , if u dont wanna run that bub let me know

 

Glad you happy with it mate, I'm happy with mine too

Not bad Mate, out and round em!! Hey - Hopefully I will have time to give you a nod when I go past you, Im off to mystery Bay tomorrow morning about 10,30 - go the fatbobs!!!!!!!!
