Default Larger front wheel on Fat Bob

Has anyone tried putting a larger front wheel on a Fat bob. I love the look of the bike except the 16" front wheel. I think a 19" or 21" might look much better? Just wondering if it can be done or if there is some one that makes a larger diameter wheel that will fit.

I think a 21" wheel would throw off the look of the Fat Bob. I could be wrong but that 16" fat&nbsp\\;wheel\\tire is a part of the whole scheme that makes the Fat Bob. Maybe you could get someone in the photoshop forum to mock one up, I'll try it if you can't find anyone.

I think a 21 would look killer on a Fat Bob. Try Hog Pro. I'm sure they can hook ya up!

forum member "the metal" swapped out both wheels and turned his bike into a vicious beast. Search his posts for pics and results.

I'd like to get a fatter tyre rather than a bigger one.
