Default Possible Fat Boy project question

How much you reckon a set of mid range fatspokes wheels would rack me to put on a Fatboy? Wheels only?
Also, is there any problems with the change-over, spacing, etc? Thanx in advance.

Here is a pic of mine that I just finished..21 up front 18 in the back. Since we are neighbors I would suggest you hit up a guy named Nate at Sportys Trikes and Bikes in Dayton..Can answer all of your questions..

Just so you know the older 2.0" centers for the rotor mount is the older style rims and most likely are Timken bearings.. I went the other way from pre 99 to post 2000 rims. the hubs are a little different and will require different spacers.. Most local indy's will carry a large variety of spacers from Drag Specialties...
