Hell yeah bud, they look great on your ride. Beats the hell out of your OE wheels, I'm sure! That's a great looking ride. Good for you, enjoy!
BTW, were they a direct bolt-on with your stock axle spacers?
Front wheel was on the rear I have the wide tire kit with the 150 rear tire and it didn't clear the fender on the rt side I had to add 1/8 to rt side and remove the same on the left not a big deal

OK thanks. Good information to know, and might be helpful to others as well.

Agreed. Good info for sure because not only does that Fat Boy look awesome, but as soon as possible I will be installing those wheels on my Fat Boy. Those wheels look like they were made for that bike.
just got my new front rim in (the correct one for a softail) and it fit right in like it came from the factory. bearings were good also. maybe i got lucky, maybe they got enough complaints that they went with a different manufacturer

That will look great BL, BTW: Congrats on the new ride, and the BF patch

Sure, why not. If you're more comfortable with tubes, put them in. I'm just running tubeless because that's how they're intended to be used. So I figured I'd test them out to see if they'd hold air without leaking. Also I like the fact that I can use fix-a-flat on the road and keep riding in the event of a flat. Can't do that when running a tube.

That looks great bud! There have been no issues with their bearings that I'm aware of. Some folks are just concerned that the bearings are "China Made" rather than Timken. In nearly 3000 miles I have no reason to suspect the bearings to become a problem. Some have mentioned they needed a little more grease. Mine were actually well greased. Anymore would have just made a mess of things.
Good to know it was a direct bolt-on for you.
Enjoy!
