The Fat bob was the first bike I rode when I got my full licence, I loved it and said it was the bike I was gonna buy next, the guys at harley got me to ride all their other bikes, I ended back on the fat bob after a few weeks of riding each bike because I thought it was the best, it is 100% my next bike ill be buying
Ive got an 18 fatbob with a stage2 set up and i put the harley davidson windshield on it ,, the only down side for me was the fuel tank with 13 litres, i always carry a fuel bottle which is 1.5 litres or a 5 litre plastic jerry can if im touring.....a great bike and a spot on review of it. Love youre channel
Cheers for the feedback mate, awesome to hear from a fatbob owner ! Ahh yeah I thought it might be abit annoying with the tank size. You've got it under control though I see haha. Good to hear you love it, I'd definitely enjoy owning one too ! Appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hello Matt!!! I really enjoyed reading your post and watching you put the Fat Bob through it's paces!!! I need to catch up on all your other videos. I was in the hospital for 7 weeks because my appendix burst on me. I can barely walk and have no core strength to even think about riding. So I'll just enjoy all your videos!!! Keep up the awesome job you always do!!! John...
Hey mate, long time no see haha. Oh no !!! Holy cow that's no good mate. I nearly died when I was young due to a cyst bursting in mine. Hope you're recovering well mate. Good to hear you're out now. I'll pray for a speeding recovery 🙏 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Seen your bike at Sunshine Coast Harley yesterday when I was in there. Was hoping to meet you in side but you must of been out test riding. Keep up the good work on the vids mate🤟.
Oh bugger, sorry about that. I was out for a couple of hours. I'll be at the next bike night at the station on the 13th of July. I'm sure I'll cya there 😁 thank you i appreciate that and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
With regards to a windshield, one option is to do what I've done (which would work well with the Fat Bob and any other model with tank-mounted gauges), and that is to fit a 10 litre plastic ammo box in front of the risers (above the headlight) with a silicone rubber Grunt Versa strap from Bunnings. It's just a matter of cutting 2 vertical slots in the rear panel of the plastic ammo box to pass the strap through, then strap it to the bike (a new take on the concept of "strap-on" haha). This provides plenty of storage for essentials, which can be accessed while sitting on the bike (eg, take off your sunnies at dusk, open the box & put the sunnies in the box without getting off the bike). There's no mods needed for the bike, so no drilling or bolting anything. The box can come off & attached in seconds, plus has a carry handle. The box works quite well as a windscreen and keeps a lot of wind off your upper body at highway speeds. What I've described is what I've got on my Softail Slim ("Hollywood" bar makes it easy for mounting). My next intended purchas is a Beeline Navigator II which will clip onto the carry handle of the ammo box. Here's what I got: www.ebay.com.au/itm/263384101986 www.bunnings.com.au/grunt-20mm-x-40cm-versa-strap_p0199267

Hey Matt love the new fatbob looks tuff I also ride with a mate that's got a 2010 fatbob same looking bike as you have but doesn't have the screen or pannier bags I also hope you get some new gloves without holes in them keep riding stay safe

Yeah bloody oath ! The older ones have abit more character that's for sure. Haha that's very true, I did not stop smiling on that fatbob, so much fun ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Great review Mate. You can see that you loved this bike, the smile on your face tells it all. Must admit I'd loved to take one out & own one. One day. Keep up the great vlogs!
I'm literally just about to trade in my Low Rider ST (fast Johnnie) for a Fat Bob tomorrow morning. I really prefer the ergonomics of the Fat Bob. it just feels better
Oh wow, that's bloody awesome mate. Very interesting, thanks for the feedback. Hope you enjoy the fat bob !!! Absolutely loved riding it. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hey bro Always get excited when you throw another vid up. Street bobs are cool as, I rode a street bob as a loaner while fatboy getting serviced , nimble light absolutely know where you're coming from with the nimble bikes. Tank capacity would be a killer for a haul. Local blast king..... Take care bro, love the vids 👊🤓👊😝😁
cheers for that! Means alot, glad you're enjoying the vids. Maybe I'll have to test ride the street bob next then ! Haha definitely agree with that, couldn't stop that often would do my head in on long trips lol. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I bloody love the fatbobs mate, definitely a mad looking bike ! Yeah I'm just comparing to the other bikes haha being picky. The braking is bloody awesome, loved it ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Super review Matt but I wish you had hated it . I am so glad my local dealer is now 50 miles because if I go try one that will be bad news. I am now 3 months into my 2016 Fat Bob and only several hundred miles due to the weather but I love it .
Thanks mate, hahaha sorry about that... definitely loved it unfortunately 😅 for longer kms I think our models are better. Abit more relaxed and stretched out. Glad you're enjoying your fatbob, bloody awesome bikes !!!! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
The videos I’ve been waiting for 😂👌 yew, love this bike and the street bob, was what I was tossing up between when I brought mine but went with the street bob due to more customisation options to tailer to myself and price obviously
Yeeeew !!! Sorry it took so long haha. Yeah I can definitely understand that. I'm keen to give the street bob and crack and see how I like it. Just looking at it I feel it would be a comfier and more relaxed option. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I test rode a bone stock Softail Fat Bob so didn't get the sweet Two Bros pipe spund. Definitely felt the compactness, so was wondering how you'd go on that! There's a lot of good stuff going on, but I prefer the look of the Low Rider ST if we're talking Softail M8s, otherwise our Dyna Fatties. Looks like you had a swell time out there brother!
Ahhh bugger ! Yeah I definitely agree with you there bro. The low rider ST is still St the top of my list for bikes I would buy next. Wish I could afford one !!!! Glad I wasn't the only one that felt like it was abit short ! Thanks for watching as always bro 🧡🖤🤙
Cheers mate, I'd still go with the low rider ST personally because I think I'd be able to do more kms and I like the wind protection from the fairing ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Cheers mate, yeah very very frustrating mate. Idk what's going on with it... back to the drawing board ! Gotta get it sorted. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Thanks mate, honestly didn't even notice it so that must be a good thing haha. I'll try and take more notice next time but I'd say if it was bad I would of picked up on it. Hope that helps & thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I was looking at buying a 2009 Fat Bob today ... But that has a bigger engine and more modern looking.. That looks good though .. I would love to have cruise control too lol and would love to see how those headlights are at night Certainly goes well mate ..
My fatbob is an 08/09 ! Did you give it a test ride ? If so how did you like it ? Yeah I wish I could some how ride them all at night also haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley No mate .. I bought a 2013 Fat Bob .. Would like to see you ride and give your opinion if you want .. Thinking of putting Apes on it, no more than 12", which is what I have on my other bike
@Wartai oh okay nice mate ! I think all that's different is a 103 and the rear lights isn't it ? Oh nice, the apes would be cool ! Seen a few around. Definitely make it tip in easy low speeds etc. I like the look of them on fatbobs too.
I read that they've discontinued the Fat bob in America for 2024? Thats the only thing putting me off buying one in the UK, is will it hold its value. And that theres no traction control with all that torque!
Oh wow, I didn't even hear about that. Honestly I didn't have an issues but I didn't dump the clutch or anything either. It held on really well even on the 0-100 and I gave it a fair crack. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Haha cheers mate ! LOL youtube money ? What's that 🤣 be a long time before I earn any sort of decent money I think !! But I can dream for now mate, all this support is definitely helping so thank you ! I haven't done the sport glide yet so thanks for the recommendation and thanks for watching as always 🤙🧡🖤🤙
Great video, I love this bike I currently ride a Honda monkey I want to keep it but I wanted a bigger bike for bigger rides and the fat Bob is my hearts choice I haven’t bought one yet but this was the bike I decided on or an Indian scout bobber which is considerably less money. Other than fuel, regular servicing and registration etc what would be the average yearly maintenance expense on these?
Cheers mate, oh wow that would be very very different haha. I'd like to test out a monkey bike some day ! It's really hard to say about other maintenance costs. For example my harley is old and I've only had to spend money on a new battery and a earth cable breaking and my bike is old. I'd assume the new ones would just be servicing as you stated. The fatbob doesn't have all the big techy screens so alot less to go wrong there too ! Hope that mates at all. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Tyres ... the OEM fitment should have been Metzeler Cruisetecs. The OEM zorst should have been the TBR 2-into-1 and the 'tail UN-tidy' should have been only offered at a MIDAS store.
Yeah I imagine the import fees and taxes etc etc etc all adds onto the price. Then also the mark up for them to make $ 😭 what do they go for over there? Also thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

That would be cool, I've seen a few with t bars also ! I don't mind the standard bars too much though. But it's personal preference isn't it haha. Thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙
That's fair enough mate, I guess they are made in Thailand 😅🤣 each to their own. I just like the led light. Prefer it with the road warrior fairing on there.

This provides plenty of storage for essentials, which can be accessed while sitting on the bike (eg, take off your sunnies at dusk, open the box & put the sunnies in the box without getting off the bike). There's no mods needed for the bike, so no drilling or bolting anything. The box can come off & attached in seconds, plus has a carry handle.
