SLIM BOB. Colt Wrangler’s Harley-Davidson Fat Bob
The Colt Wrangler from New Braunfels, Texas, has become well known for building clean and classy looking smaller café racers and electric bikes. So when a customer contacted him a few years ago about customising his Harley-Davidson Dyna Fat Bob, Colt got a little bit worried. ?I thought to myself, ?Does this guy really want to bring this bike to me" Maybe he?s at the wrong shop.?? The customer, Marc Snoddy, didn?t have the wrong shop and was adamant he wanted the former bull rider to build him a bike, saying he would ride the bike over and bring some photos for reference. ?I feared that he was going to show me pictures of a really awful bobber with ape hangers that he wanted to replicate.? Luckily, Colt was pleasantly surprised when Marc showed him a picture of the ?Gorilla? built by Rough Crafts. That got Colt excited, as he?d always been a fan of Rough Crafts and was looking forward to building a murdered out Harley on a much needed diet. We like to call it the Slim Bob diet.
Over time, Colt powder-coated all of the chrome, shaved and drilled the levers, replaced the fat bars with internally wired 1″ tracker bars, installed a Kuryakyn intake and built custom exhaust with a distinct bark. He also used a 7? LED Jeep headlight paired with discreet Joker Machine front turn signals. ?We chipped away at it in bite-sized pieces and it started looking really good. It was turning heads and standing out from other Harleys, but Marc wasn’t done yet.?
