    G'Day all,

     

    I'm looking at getting a 1200 custom, does anyone know if a fatbob style fender has been made for these? I have seen the bobtail style but not the straight fatbob style. I tried searching but have yet to find any info on this subject.

    Cheers

    The fat bob fender seems straighter than the softail fender, it only has a slight lip at the rear. Just wondering if anyone makes one, or if I will have to make a fiberglass one myself.

    I have another question about a 1200C, What is the pro's and con's of the 21inch front wheel. I rate the look of it, just like wide glides. I have heard they will follow cracks on the road but I just dont know enough about them to make a call on weather I want one on looks alone. Any help?

    What year? is this a new bike that you want to change or does it already have a narrow tyre? just asking as mine has the fat 16" tyre.

    The bike has a narrow tyre standard, I just dont know the pros and cons with tyre /wheel types.
