I have a 2004 FatBoy that I am putting new wheels on. I'm not so sure what to do with the wheels I am taking off. The wheels are the solid wheels that come standard on the FatBoy. They are not chromed or anything special, just the stock wheels that come with this model. My questions are the following:
1) Do you think that somebody will want these wheels?
2) How much do you think I could get for them?
3) Is E-Bay the way to go to get rid of them?
4) Leave them with the local delearship?
5) Any other suggestions
I say store them if you have room. Never know when you my decide you want a new FatBoy and if the wheel size has not changed you can throw the stock wheels back on your bike for the trade in and then put your custom wheels on the new bike.
I agree. I keep everything that I replace. Just put it away and forget about it for now. I have not seen a very big demand for those dish wheels on the fat boys. I have 'em but am going to go to a slotted wheel soon, at least in the front.

Nice thing about fatty wheels.. They're very common so there's a market for chrome exchange for them.
Someday I'm considering doing that.
There's also some folks that CNC out slots in them, then chrome them.. Looks pretty cool, I think.
