Default Upgrading wheels fatboy
Looking at upgrading my stock wheels on my 2010 fatboy Lo with DNA Mammoth fatspoke wheels and seeing what advice I can get before

This is what I have and what. I plan to get. Keeping in mind I want to keep the width of my wheels and try not to reduce

Upgrade:
Tyre front 120/70 R17
Rim front 21 x 3.50

Tyre rear 200/55 R17
Rim T17 x 6.00 MT
Upgrade:
Tyre rear 210/50 R17
Rim 17 x 6.25

appreciate your help and advice..

Keep in mind that DNA Mammoth wheels tend to leak. You might wanna consider an inner tube.

It is a sin to remove the Fat Boy wheels.

I have considered changing my FatBoy wheels but I don't really consider it an upgrade just because I am not crazy about the stock wheels.
