Fatboy Rims   Printable Version Harley Davidson Forum >> This 'n' That >> Detailing >> Fatboy Rims Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> Fatboy Rims - 4/13/2008 6:00:44 PM    bayxter   Posts: 4 Joined: 4/13/2008 Status: offline I just bought a 94 Fatboy, and the previous owner neglected the rims terribly.  I would just buy new ones, but these have the fatboy emblem laser cut around the rim, so I'd like to salvage them.  The restoration process is taking me especially long around the rivets that line the perimeter of the rims.  Can those be removed?

Best thing to do would be to contact the p.o. and see if he thinks they can be removed or not. I don't understand why someone would spend that kind on money on machine work and then just let it corrode. _____________________________ EITHER GET A CLUE OR GET OUT OF THE F@#KING PASSING LANE!
