Sprotster Fatbob Project

2001 XL Custom

2001 XL Custom

I plan on turning my 2001 XL Custom into a fatbob sprotster with Apehangers. I love the fatbob look with Ape Hangers. I also like fishtails.


I have seen some well done chops and some not so well done. I like the fatbob look but I also like the handling and ease of the Sportster.

I don't plan on taking it cross country but I do want to take some long charity runs with. As I get into it I'll take plenty of pictures of what works and what doesn't.

I hope to get help from others who have tried it and what mistakes to avoid and do the same for others when I get mine set up the way I want it to be.
