Default Front spoke on Fatboy..

Looking at 21x3.5" for the front of my Fatboy.. I have Lo wheels now, whats the opinion on leaving the solid wheel on the back and have it similar to the Night Train look? Going fatty tire on the front wiht a black rim and hub.. Thoughts? any pics of similar ? My bikes setup similar to the Fatboy lo, all blacked out with more black to come lol

You can't do the 21" with the stock fender. It looks like you have already changed it from the sig pic however it is difficult to tell. I think it would look better with 2 matching wheels but I'm the wheel business. If you had bags it would not matter.

Thats the exact look I was going for on my Dyna. I think it worked. 21 front and Fat Boy disc is a slick combo. If you can flt it under the fender you have, I say do it.

Maybe, if you had the rear wheel powdercoated all black to get rid of the brushed chrome ring. Personally, I plan to order "two" matching wheels next week since I prefer to run without bags most of the time and it would just bother the hell out of me to have two unmatched wheels. It would remind me of a cage going down the road with a doughnut on it.

My night train doesn't have the black wheel in the rear, but the solid chrome instead. Love the look of the two non matched wheels!


It's your bike. Do what you think will make it look good and unique to your eyes.
