Brilliant. Just what I wanted. So now I KNOW it can be done and can plan accordingly.

It also justifies my conviction that it would be a good thing to do as those wheels really do look great on the new bike.

Thanks for posting that, much appreciated.

 

Ken Did you get this sorted? with the Turbines on the 2018 Breakout as Im looking at the doing the same conversion.
Cheers

Damn, its a shame you aren't in the US, I would buy your breakout wheels in a heartbeat. But shipping would probably cost as much as buying them new.

I have been planning on doing a wheel swap ever since I saw this photo of a dealer in Oz that installed the 18 Breakout wheels on an 18 Fat Boy. Plus I'm sure i'll improve the lumbering handling of this beast.

EDIT: Its also a shame I didn't see this thread was from 2017... Sigh.

 

Its weird as they look far meaner on the fat boy than the breakout :-)

 

Indeed. I am going to make this happen. Somehow.

 

Me and you both I'll keep you posted, theres going to be some problems for me there always is when I want to to anything

 

You're not alone there, for sure.

 

Turbine wheels for the WIN. Those wheels you posted from the Aussie kind of take the FAT out of it, maybe its the spoke style. Check out txphatboy, he's got this setup.

 

 

Nope, was talking to you, giving you point of reference that's all. His is not a new model, it's older but gives you an idea, i suppose. He might chime in, and may not have a thread specifically about BO wheels but I'm pretty sure he has one about his build. Browse his profile, it should let you review all of his posts?
Here's a thread w pics, txphat hope you don't mind me sharing (i'm almost you you won't lol):
