so are we all in agreeance that a Fat Boy doesn't need solids?

No me:

I'd take the solids you show in the 2nd example or the stock FatBoy wheels over the five spoke design.I think the 5 spoke while great on some bikes would lookgoofy on a FatBoy.

There's something a little different and special about the Fatboy,and solid or semi-solid wheels are part of it's mystique...

Thanks T 3, I think you and I are on same page with the solids. The more I think about it, the 5 spoke on a FB looks a little to metric for me.
