Out of your choices I think #3 look pretty good plus the flame theme does already have a good start on your bike . My choice on the front would be a SS twisted variation of some sort with a chrome rim . Thinking a 80 spoke would look very nice but I saw a FB the other day that had a 40 twisted spoke front , a FAT 40 TWISTED and it also looked very nice ! I've been plexed for the last 6 mos. trying to decide what to do with my Deuce front wheel , DECISIONS , DECISIONS !!!

Half the fun is in the hunt ! Dan

If I would have just seen pic#1 wheel somewhere else, I would have glossed right over it, but on your bike this wheel really stands out and looks awesome. Pic#1 is my vote. Definately a trick look on your bike.

2 or 1 I stick with tradition on the Fat Boy, need a solid or nearly solid wheel to keep FB look. Just my .02 worth. By the way you have a smoking FatBoy there

JMO but I think billet spoke wheels look best, I like the open look it makes the bike look lighter, solid wheels make the bike look heavy. I run PM Seville wheels photo chop a set of those on there, Hog Pro make some great looking 5-6 spoke wheels.[sm=smiley20.gif]

"2" because soiled wheels and fatboys go together, but deep down you must really favor one over them all. I say go with that one .
Completely disagree, every Harley owner should always have the membership here vote before making ANY changes!



Seriously though, I'm not a big fan of color matched wheels to your paint job. Wheels are accents of the bike, not focal points.

Check out Cool Dog's bike for an example of this mentality or any of the bike's that have won the Bike of the Month contests.
