Default 1998 Fatboy (New Rims)

Well I finally got my new rims installed on my Fatboy. The front was a breeze but the rear I had to do some machining on the belt drive pulley to it to work and had to get new rotors. My belt drive pulley hole was 2.0 inches and I had to Machine it to 2.25 inches to fit the new rim. Tomorrow I'm going to install the new matching front rotor to match rear. Had to get a replacement. It came in the mail after I got done today.

Nice looking fatty! Those fat spokes look great on that thing. I am a sucker for that color too. My 98 custom is also lazer red, so I am biased.

I'm usually not a fan of spokes, but this looks great!
