Default Fatboys and aftermarket wheels?

Why is it you dont see a whole lot of fatboys with custom wheels. Is there something different than the rest of the bikes that makes them more expensive or something. Im looking into getting a fatboy and was curious .

There are plenty of Fatboy's with custom wheels out there. Nothing different from any other FL softail except the newer models have the 5.5" rear wheel.

For myself I've been looking at the HD Reaper wheels for my 07 fatboy. Just bought pipes so I have to work a few more overtime shifts to buy the wheels. About 1600 canadian

Great looking wheels. I understand what the other guy is saying though. I have an '07 Fatboy and Harley makes NO other wheels for my bike. Not in the HD catalog and not online. It may be due to the offset front wheel on the '07.

I just put reapers on my deuce, but for a Fatboy the H-D stingers look a lot better. The 17" reaper looks squished on the front wheel opposed to the 21"

Someone on here has a fatboy with reapers on it

I put the reapers on mine too. I really like the stingers, but did it before it left the dealer so I was able to use the original tires. Put the pulley on it and changed the rotors at the same time. I like them but it is hard to appreciate the rear wheel without changing the pipes.

V&H BSS coming up next.

I agree not too many people dress up the wheels on fatboys. I have a 2007 and am thinking of ordering from coastal moto.

Where are you guys getting your wheels from now a days?
