I like both, but for a Fatboy I would put the solid wheels on but use the 5 star rotors and pulley.

he doesnt buy wheels for resale from hogpro....Shooter's hooked at much higher levels....try as you might, you WILL NOT find a better or cheaper(if thats your ticket) place to buy ANYTHING

Yes, I'm aware of HogPro but if Shooter can get them for $500 less I'll go with him.

[
I would as well when I can afford them, but I was asking because those wheels are made by HogPro or their design according to their website. I was just asking if he goes thourgh them.Save a buck (500) and still support a site sponsor its a win win in my book.

well that sucks[sm=icon_rofl.gif] I'm getting married in a few months and I don't need that kind of temptation right now.[sm=confused06.gif] Next your going to tell me that dude with the 360 brake is putting that on sale as well. [sm=bangbang.gif] My fiance is out of town so I'm not thinking straight right now.

One side
its only money and I can always make more

the other
She will be pissed but will eventually get over it

hmmmmm

"On the 1990 Fat Boy model,the wheels are the defining charistic.The idea was to create a distintive look using solid die-cast wheels."

- Willie G Davidson : 100 YEARS Harley Davidson Page 250.

I'mnot saying Wille G and HD always get it right and can't possibly be improvedupon but you sure as hell don't see me riding a Honda.
