V&H BSS coming up next.

Even with short pipes you can't really see the rear wheel. You/ we need a pulley rotor too

PM Hooligans for me! Never really liked the solid wheels on a Fatboy.

My Fatboy w/ RC Components 'calypso'

18" dia. wheels w/ Metzeler 880's.
One of my pet-peeves is guy's installing shiny, new chrome wheels but using the old steel wheel spacers. H/D offers some really nice chrome spacers (domes look great) inexpensively.

I like the stock wheels. i have seen some fatboy with wheels and pipes changed and it takes a closer look to see what bike your looking at. The stock wheels are no question fatboy. I like the stock exhaust but it is not passenger friendly.

I changed out my 08 Fatboy wheels for the chrome Fatboy wheels that were an option in 09.
I thought about going to an aftermarket wheel but like the solid Fatboy wheels. I wanted people to know that it was a Fatboy, but wanted to dress it up a bit.
I thought about putting on a set of Fat Daddy's with the chrome rim and 3/8" diameter black powder coated spokes, but decided to stick with the Fatboy look.

Talking

Fatboy = Mags, Mags = Fatboy! Would't think of putting anything else on my bike! That's why they call them FATBOY'S.

Kind of aftermarket?

I agree, disc wheels are pure Fatboy.

Here is a Fat Boy with 18" Coastal Moto Legacy wheels on it. I have also added our three new chrome designs that are not on the website yet.

We have package prices listed on our website but give me a call (Jeff) and I will see what else I can do for you.

We really want to support the forum as much as we can and thank all of the forum members that have supported us.
