    Heres a pic of my fatboy fitted up with lights from a fatbob. Had to make a bracket for the light to give clearance around the bar bolts.

    Electrical wiring was the same so a simple plug in, just thinking of what to do with the tinware. I haven't seen or heard of anyone doing

    this mod, surely I can't be first. If anyone has got a pic of a bike with this done I'd be very interested in seeing it

    heres an update on my fatbob light install. had to make another bracket to take lights out further to fit the nacelle. Am not happy with the height of the lights now and will make yet another bracket to lower them around 2 inches. Then I've got to work out which way I'm going to go to fix the one light only situation. Am looking at the hoglight led kit ,and have been told harley do have a kit that changes it too. certainly different and should create a bit of discussion on the road

    Obviously it`s a personal choice but I reckon they suit the Fatboy far better than the Fatbob ... maybe it`s having the Nacelle filling out the back ground that does it for me but good work anyhow`s .

    hey I know that there is going to be some and probably alot that think it looks shit , but that comes with the course of being unique.Even the most ugliest

    baby is still loved by the mother and in this case its me, when all else fails and I've had enough, I'll revert back to the stock light. I actually like it without the nacelle, but i cant think of how to tidy up the top half yet without spending more dosh

    just put everything together, painted up the 2nd tank and front fender and installed them, the fuel pump assembly was a great learning curve

    and I can say I'm no longer daunted by the prospect of entering that space anymore. Received my new Hoglight led kit ($440)to fit the fatbob lights 

    and I think they look a treat and could'nt be simpler to install ( was on the fence about getting the black version lights but went with the chrome ).

    I looked at getting the harley kit but for a little extra I got the led upgrade as well. Still haven't seen or heard of anyone doing this mod which really

    surprises me as I think it looks cool
