The rear fender reminds me of a late model Wide Glide.

That could be. It certainly looks familiar to me.

I'm soooooo glad I got my Fatboy S this year. New line up not doing it for me.

I've always hated the bullet hole fatboy wheels, but compared to the abortions they slapped on the 2018 fatboy, the bullet hole wheels look great!

seriously the whole 2018 lineup just...wow. WTF were they thinking?!?

i like the bullet holes, but sure wouldn't want to take a cross wind on a tall bridge with those solid rims and that beachball tire

The fat wheel is fat, wow, 240, god only knows how many miles you'll get out of that tire, 4000??

Try 3,000. Speak from experience as a former Breakout owner. Breakout is a great bike by the way... Got 10K on my Ultra, original skins!!

not a fan of tractor tyres on any bike!! i know the big sidewalls help soften the ride but a 70 series modern radial will handle best IMO.

There only thing I don't care for on the new Fatboy is the headlamp. I liked the giant 7" bucket. I thought that was what made a Fatboy as much as the solid wheels.

I have a breakout with Avon Cobras. Nearly 10k miles and they still have a ton of tread left. They will easily make it through the rest of the year (and I do not own a car)
