I like the 5 spokes, but frankly think I would go with something with just a bit bigger spokes on the Fat Boy - seems like it would fit the bike better.

I do like the 5 spoke wheels, but IMHO a Fatboy should have solid wheels. However, it is your bike and you need to get what floats your boat.

That's what I thought....... solids belong on a FatBoy. IMO it's just not a FB without solids.....but apparently others think differently. Keep the opinions coming!!!!!!
