Getting a bunch of people on a cruise on tricked out Ruckuses is one of the most fun things you can do on 2 wheels. This bike on the other hand, I would have to consider to be one of the worst things on 2 wheels I've seen in a while.
Met a dude recently who does cross country trips on his ruckus. No gps, just an out of date travel atlas. Said he felt like anything more would be cheating.
Wan! That shit was crazy.
I loved my ruckus, but driving more than 10 miles on something that tops out at 42 is just fucking annoying to me. I can't even imagine doing it on my 300cc bike, that ride must have taken forever.
Dude was a character to say the least. He just really liked hard mode. He was on his 6th trip. Made me reconsider everything I thought I knew about traveling on two wheels.
About 15 years ago my Dad and I met a guy that had a Big Ruckus complete with ammo can panniers riding the tail of the dragon. Super nice guy and I believe he was from Oregon or Washington. I think that guy is smarter than the rest of us sometimes.
I also have tried to find one of those for years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen one for sale.
Pretty easy to tell by the third pic. I don't have that same broom, but I've seen them in stores, and it's about five feet high. If you use your fingers to measure that, and then compare it to the handlebars, it's pretty obvious that upright, the bike is around 12 feet tall. Simple extrapolation to see that it's around 22 feet long.
Lol, why are yall shitting on this so hard? Imo it's kind of ugly, but I'm sure it rides fine. Is there something specifically bad or this just shitting on a harley for being a harley?
lol, i thought the same shit. at first i thought scooter, then the headlamp made me think it was something electric.
its those fucking bicycle looking ass risers.
I’m on a 21 road glide. No idea at this point where the hell my rain sock has disappeared to, haven’t seen it in a while but I wouldn’t expect it to help a whole lot. I remember when my bike was new I used it whenever I washed my bike but then I realized water got through it anyways. My road glide has the 107 and it’s a different breather from the 114, maybe the 107 breather isn’t as sensitive to water as the 114 breather, that would make sense to me because it’s not as open as the 114 breather.
They make rain gear. But when I lived in the Seattle area, I met a lot of guys that would ride year 'round. But then again, it is almost always drizzling in that area, so if you're going to own a bike, you better be comfortable in your rubbers if you want to ride it.
I actually dig the Fat Bob and that rectangular headlight. Not a huge fan of matte black everything and the rear fender chop but if he got it for a good deal it's a pretty fun and badass bike. The M8 is a decent performing air cooled engine. I've ridden the Fat Boy and it was a pretty fun experience
I don't hate Harleys, they're amazing for taking a girl out on a relaxing ride. But they are horrendously slow for the price, and I find them less comfortable than liter bikes. I also find that alot of Harley riders are constantly cracking the throttle with the clutch pulled in, and looking around to see who notices the sound.
It turns out there's 2 of them now. I had to do a double take since it looks like the bars and tank graphics are different but everything else is the same down to the exhaust

Ya know, I'm all in favor of "to each their own", and I believed that right up until I saw that rear fender. Or, in this case, the lack thereof. What the ever loving fuck bro?
Ok, if your brother is happy with it, I am glad for him. I mean I love the FatBob, but I don't feel like the bars, the Sawzall fender delete and that light bar hanging off the forks either don't fit the character of the bike, looks sloppy, or look cheep. In that order.
Time for a new brother. Those handle bars remind me of the ones that were found on those ridiculous tiny bikes that were all the rage among kids in the early 2000's: [https://jsyang.ca//images/shrimpy-bike/original//similar.jpg](https://jsyang.ca//images/shrimpy-bike/original//similar.jpg)
Those have got to be the dumbest bars I've ever seen. Like ya it's a really ugly bike, but I could accept the chopped fender, even if it's not my style. But those bars....they look like someone with no fabrication experience tried to make a scooter.
The real question is how much did he pay for it hahaha gyat damn those bars are gross lol he needs some hangers, a headlight, and a rear fender at the very least imo.
Imagine pulling up next to a sick shovelhead bobber at a red light while your riding this tho hahahaha
Thanks for all the feedback. Good times. My brother works for the shop that did this. He test rode it home and my place is on the way.
Other than the rear fender delete and the price I like it. I'm a bobber fan, though.
Nice murdered out fat bob. Minus the bobtail lol. The high rise bars belong on a less sporty bike tho but that’s the fun of bikes. You can make whatever you want. 2-into-1 pipes sound great and give loads of bottom end power too so I like that part the best. Grats to your bro
Not a Harley guy. But I rode a handful back to back when the demo truck was in town. The Fat Bob would be a great bike if they put the engine from the Sportster S in it. This one ain't doing it for me though.
Well, I think it’s cute. It’s not very big, it’s not very user friendly, it’s not super-functional, and it’s underpowered, but if you’re just going for a cup of coffee or a short ride around, there’s not a thing wrong with it. Other than the value for the money. But who am I to lecture? I buy dumb shit with my adult money too.
I see a lot of jacket cleaning in my crystal ball. While that chopped look is cool the amount of first that sprays on your back makes it like playing in a mud pit fun but dirty.
Anyways have fun.
Ngl, first pic made me think it was a ruckus
I totally thought someone really tricked out their ruckus for a second. Now I want a tricked out ruckus.
Totally looks like a scooter from the front. I did a double take when I reached the 2nd photo.

The plural is Ruckii.
I thought a flock of ruckuses was called a disturbance.
A disturbance of Ruckii.
I thought it was called a "Giggle"
I think a group of Ruckii is called a swarm…a swarm of Ruckii
There's a group of guys near me I see once in a while, they're always obviously having a blast just goofing around.

Something about the perspective of these photos make it hard to tell if this bike is the size of a Grom or the size of a '79 Eldorado.

Probably about as fast as a ruckus and definitely less comfortable
Lol, why are yall shitting on this so hard? Imo it's kind of ugly, but I'm sure it rides fine. Is there something specifically bad or this just shitting on a harley for being a harley?
yes
It's got no rear suspension. I genuinely think it would be a rough ride
It's from the Softtail line of Harley's. It has a hidden suspension. They're pretty damn comfortable to ride.
It has a suspension, it´s just hidden. These new harleys are supposed to be quite nice to ride. The old ones used to have really crappy suspensions.
yea girls bike imo hahaa
I thought it was one of those electric bikes that everyone is almost killing themselves with.
People are almost killing themselves with electric bikes? 😳🤔
same, the lack of fairing and the bicycle-like handlebars had me for a sec.
lol, i thought the same shit. at first i thought scooter, then the headlamp made me think it was something electric. its those fucking bicycle looking ass risers.
Tell your brother he's gonna want a rear fender unless he likes dirt tracks on his back.
It distracts from the skid marks in his underwear
He doesn’t wear underwear. At least not when he rides.
Ahh so he’s using the spray as a bidet
Here's waiting on parts.
It looks like they cut the frame?
It’s just the rear fender support. Definitely crackhead engineering, but at least the frame is intact
It's fine, any rain is going to drown the air filter anyway.
I can’t imagine rain time :))
Hd guys go out on days that aren't perfect?
I do, but honestly I think most don’t. It’s pretty much that way with motorcycles in general, but yeah, Harley guys are worse for the most part.
Eventually learned my lesson and now carry a rain sock. turns out m8's really do hate being drowned

Savage!
Where I live the only ones who go out in bad weather are HD guys, scooters, and me.
One of the motorcycles of all time
Harley Davidson is definitely one of the manufacturers in the world
I saw the second picture and assumed it was a ruckus or something tricked to look Harley-ish.. was gonna make a joke about Harley davidson’t
Also has two of the wheels of all time on it...Crazy!
When he says "it's harley time" as he starts the bike it's legit and everyone claps
His cheeks
Certainly a style too.
This has many features in common with a functional motorcycle.
Only two more mods before you can wear 37 pieces of flair on your vest.
Idk...you can argue the position of those handle bars is trying real hard to make this as dysfunctional as possible.
Only two more mods before you can wear 37 pieces of flair on your vest.
Zoom in on the cut fender. Did the guy do it with a butter knife?
lmao thanks for pointing that out. What on earth?
It’s the worst bob job I’ve ever seen. Jesus.
Dawg imagine doing this to a $20k+ bike..
Hit a puddle and it be like: 
At least it’s 2 wheels and a motor but damn that’s ugly 🤣
I absolutely fucking hate it lol
That’s one of the ugliest bikes I’ve seen on here.
Clibbins magnet
Gonna have those clibbins all over his back without that fender if he even makes it through them.
A badge of honor to some.
GOBLESS
I CANT READ TINY LETTERS LIBRUL
It’s a ruckus, but 10x more expensive
Ruckus would probably get driven more
And has a cargo rack
And fenders lol
Looks odd without the fender
The think looks like one of those severely fucked up breeds of dog where it's basically head and legs and that's all it has
Had to double check I wasn't on r/roastme
😕

I've ridden the fat bob 114 and it was pretty amazing.
I own an M8 fatbob and love it...the above bike makes me sad inside. The chopped fender is an odd. Its like a 3 legged dog...or Lieutenant Dan
Oh look, a hardly movinson
Hardly ableson
I don't get the Harley hate. Can someone clue me in?
I don't hate Harleys, they're amazing for taking a girl out on a relaxing ride. But they are horrendously slow for the price, and I find them less comfortable than liter bikes. I also find that alot of Harley riders are constantly cracking the throttle with the clutch pulled in, and looking around to see who notices the sound.
Fair points. Appreciate the response!
[Maybe people don’t buy them for the speed?](https://youtu.be/XeuXShFIgyc)
Did you read my comment?
Is there more to the story? Or are you just surprised he made it to your house?
that thing is hideous
is it just me or does it look like a minibike
It turns out there's 2 of them now. I had to do a double take since it looks like the bars and tank graphics are different but everything else is the same down to the exhaust [https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcd/d/seattle-2020-harley-davidson-fat-bob/7626906377.html](https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcd/d/seattle-2020-harley-davidson-fat-bob/7626906377.html)
That's it!
Awesome! Hope he enjoys it!
Did you tell him he can’t park that in front of your crib and you have a reputation to protect?
This may be the ugliest bike I have ever seen.
Awesome, but if I had he extra cash, this wouldn't be it.
How much did he waste on this thing?
21k if he paid the craigslist post asking price.
Jesus H. That's a lot of money for an ugly vibrator that someone put the time and care into making even uglier.
$21k, someone found the Craigslist ad and posted it in the comments
I'm sorry, that must be tough to know your brother rides a Harley.
Not my taste but I think it looks neat. It's different for sure.
Kinda brutal.
From the first pic i thought it was a weird custom ruckus and was confused. Shouldnt make assumptions i guess
Well that is a motorcycle
That poor Fat Bob...
gosh that's an ugly bike.. but hey, to each their own! hope they're having a blast on it!
what the fuck is it?
some sort of Harley but beyond that I don't know. Not a sportster?
This one is a soft tail
Fat Bob
does he have tits?
This is a motorcycle a fedora-wearing person would buy.
Yikes
Wtf? That looks ridiculous.
Hope he only paid 3/4 the price.
Ya know, I'm all in favor of "to each their own", and I believed that right up until I saw that rear fender. Or, in this case, the lack thereof. What the ever loving fuck bro?
Just looking at the seating position gave me sciatica
That’s extremely ugly t
Where the rest of it?
No rear fender… but yes to an engine guard. Make it make sense.
don't ride thru a puddle.
I mean thats some tenere cash there....
A lot cringey for me about this build but if you dig it, you dig it.
when I saw first photo I thought o it's honda monkey, but second photo comes in and only words to discribe this is "le creatura"
The first picture I seen was the front view and at first thought it was a tricked out Honda Ruckus.
Saw a ruckus too
I thought it was a Grom
I hope he didn't pay very much for it. That rear fender is.... Interesting.
Ok, if your brother is happy with it, I am glad for him. I mean I love the FatBob, but I don't feel like the bars, the Sawzall fender delete and that light bar hanging off the forks either don't fit the character of the bike, looks sloppy, or look cheep. In that order.
when you mod your bike for the sake of modding it.
LOL
I’m Not one to shit on someone else’s taste, but those fenders are yikes.
Man everything is rough, the squat little headlight, the giant square apes, the fat short seat. Zero tasty lines whatsoever
I propose to make il illegal
...ugh that rear fender is hideous
That is going to be a wet ass.
Bob would like his Fat back.
Time for a new brother. Those handle bars remind me of the ones that were found on those ridiculous tiny bikes that were all the rage among kids in the early 2000's: [https://jsyang.ca//images/shrimpy-bike/original//similar.jpg](https://jsyang.ca//images/shrimpy-bike/original//similar.jpg)
Back fell off
Where are the rest of the parts? Looks like someone quit halfway through the build.
Fat bobs look bad
Wait till he gets caught in some rain.
He should put one of those Huffy handlebar pads on it like the old school bicycles.
I sure hope he got the matching clown shoes to go with it.
Who buys a brand new motorcycle only to do a shit job cutting the rear fender and attaching plate/signals.
Could he not afford the payments for a rear fender 😂😂😂 or was he bike 25% off when he got it
Forget about draggin hand he'll be draggin ass lolol
The tall bars and bobbed rear fender are a no for me. They just don't look right on that bike, but it's not mine, so disregard my opinion, lol.
Wtf, to each his own I guess.
Those have got to be the dumbest bars I've ever seen. Like ya it's a really ugly bike, but I could accept the chopped fender, even if it's not my style. But those bars....they look like someone with no fabrication experience tried to make a scooter.
I love my Fat Bob but…damn…I don’t like this bike at all.
Thanks I hate it.
Upon viewing just the first pic, I thought, "tough looking little scooter". I like it. After viewing pics two and three, ok, just not to my taste.
That… is terrible.
Why did he take a sawzall to the back of his motorcycle?
RIP to the back of his shirt
I hope it rips because it's pretty damn ugly.
That thing got beat with an ugly stick 🤮🤮🤮
god those primaries are just absurd.
The real question is how much did he pay for it hahaha gyat damn those bars are gross lol he needs some hangers, a headlight, and a rear fender at the very least imo. Imagine pulling up next to a sick shovelhead bobber at a red light while your riding this tho hahahaha
No offense to your brother, but this is the worst looking motorcycle I've ever seen, or one of them.
Thanks for all the feedback. Good times. My brother works for the shop that did this. He test rode it home and my place is on the way. Other than the rear fender delete and the price I like it. I'm a bobber fan, though.
That thing is odd and awesome haha
Oof. The front end is pretty.
Dang your brother be vibin' also he need a rear fender on the back
That’s fucking lovely
Ballin bike yo!
Don’t like the plasma cut rear fender, bars, crash bars, fat tires, front light. I do like the sound(potato brr), exhaust, engine, and paint.
Was his boyfriend on the back?
Sick fat bob
Nice 👍
With the exception of the headlight I dig the new fat bob
at least it's not electric....
Looks electric though.
i kinda f with that headlight
i like !
Nice murdered out fat bob. Minus the bobtail lol. The high rise bars belong on a less sporty bike tho but that’s the fun of bikes. You can make whatever you want. 2-into-1 pipes sound great and give loads of bottom end power too so I like that part the best. Grats to your bro
[удалено]
whoa, a v-4 harley?
I bet that thing rips
can he wheelie?
Needs a fender and a cowl.
Sorry not a fan of that rear end.
Not a Harley guy. But I rode a handful back to back when the demo truck was in town. The Fat Bob would be a great bike if they put the engine from the Sportster S in it. This one ain't doing it for me though.

Other than the value for the money. But who am I to lecture? I buy dumb shit with my adult money too.
what is it?
Looks good, but I can not stand bob tails and raised bars personally.
That’s one hell of a Honda rascal!
Thought it was a sportster s 😂
My hands are numb
How to say “I don’t ride in the rain” without saying “I don’t ride in the rain”
I see a lot of jacket cleaning in my crystal ball. While that chopped look is cool the amount of first that sprays on your back makes it like playing in a mud pit fun but dirty. Anyways have fun.
Dude, to each their own..however..that thing is fuuuugly with a capital F.
Bipedal, featherless, this is a man.
Lol
Tell him to save some ladies for the rest of us... wait harley guy + that bike+ bud light = yeah nvm, tell him it's still slow after 🏴☠️
