old wives tale. If those wheels “caught wind” semis wouldn’t go a mile in the wind, factor in the wheel is rolling…science.

[and that's a whole lot better than what was/wasn't done to the 2007 Fat Boy to accommodate a wider 200 tyre i.e. front wheel decentralised... but I digress]

That is my first-hand experience, not a story I heard from someone else.

Maybe an old wives tale to you, but I tried solid fatboy wheels on my `89 Heritage, and it was noticeably unstable in high cross winds (especially bridges), I put the original spoked wheel on the front and the issue was solved (the solid wheel is still on the rear).
