Glad you brought it up, I thought about that a few months ago when the 12's came out. Do the wheels fit without mods? I think they would look good on the FB!

switchback wheels do not offer the ability to mount the right side brake disc from what I can tell. Unless you also go to a single caliper brake system...well...you get what I am sayin.

I'd rather see a switchback fender and bags on a fat bob... that'd be slick.

I had the same though about Switch Back mag wheels on the Fat Bob. But you wouldn't really see the rims anyway with the rotors in the way. Spokes are about the only rim set- up you do notice on the Fattys.

Thanks for the replies! I dig the wheels, but I like my dual frt brakes more.
