I guess this is why we make our bikes, our own, who cares what others think. I started this post simply because I thought there were more of the Fat Tire bikes on here,,,

They look like Avon tires. Both are rear tires?

I'm happy for anyone that does to their ride to make themselves happy.

But, I'm not a fan of fat in the front, I prefer my fat in the rear,

No, not "Dark side" No car tire here, Dunlop Elite on the rear, and yes, that's a rear mounted backwards on the front. Avon engineer told Paul that's fine and would handle well. (It does)
RLH 767, how did you do that without a kit? No regrets buying mine, but interested in knowing how you did it!
