Yep, you've completely changed the look of a fatboy. For the crosswind, I cannot comment that, never had a problem.

nice looking wheels, i went for something other than solid disks too. I could explain why the wheels are not a factor in cross winds, but hey if it makes you feel good, I agree with you.

In fact, if you park the fatboy on a stand, the wind might blow it away. Does 60 spokes wheel ride much worse than 40 in the wind? Anyone?
