     Hilly,

     

    The 2008 FatBob I test rode in Mackay is exactly the same as the 2010 FatBob that I brought which is exactly the same as the 2011 FatBob that was in the showroom when I picked up my bike. Other than paint choices that is. But there maybe some small differences tho.

     

    I will try and find a tape and get that measurement for you tonight.

    Hilly I just ran the tape roughly from the centre of the fork cap to fork cap and its pretty close to 10inches metric on my tape says 25.3 ( I dont know metric)

    I just put new black fat bob trees on my street bob,

    I can give you the exact centre to centre for them if you want but don't know if its the same measurement for all year models which, I think, is what you are asking

    I'll post the measurement up tomorrow, haven't got with me right now think it was 9.875" but will have to check 4 sure

    I just remote desktoped back to my home pc, (I'm at work now) i love this shit...

    anyway Fatbob Centre to Centre = 9.850" (250.2mm) thats for 2010 Black Triple Tree set, no idea about earlier models but I'm sure they would be the same...

    why u asking Hilly? what u got planned?

    cheers

    hey hilly the centres are the same so is the trail i got a bob and live in s.a an i used to scrape the forwards ,thought about it a lot an cured all that by adding w/glide forks to the fatbob trees an only slipped em through 30mm improved clearance and didnt alter the handling as i havnt had an issiue an i ride like its stolen for sure .Twinning the front will mean a few spacers at the wheel but wont hurt anything, a good look is a streetrod vrod twin disc mag on standard superglide f/end width that has twin brake fork legs cant beat twin 4 spots to stop ya (back one dont work anyway)
