I offered to get those fold ups for my wife and she said she was ok with the stock pegs. She's a keeper alright.
And Gommee, as far as complaining to anybody these days, dealer or manufacturer, it just seems to fall on deaf ears anymore. I made my point by not going back again.....ever. More reasons than just the tire.

She does not come along on the boyz trips.

Finally! Snow and ice in the driveway melted. Went for the first ride of the season last evening. A little chilly, but worth it.

Default Wheels

This might be a touchy subject. I was looking to replace the factory Fatboy wheels with something a little more wind friendly. I love the stock size, but its a pain finding those dimensions or wheels that don't cost over $2500. Any thoughts or suggestions?

it goes with the territory, if you wanted spokes then should of gone with a heritage. but there is the problem, it ain't gonna be cheap. guess i'm one of those people that believe the fatboy should look like what it was intended for. so if you change it to much then maybe you should of thought of this sooner before buying it. but that's my opinion, it's your bike

I am not wanting to turn it into a bagger or anything like that. I was just wanting ideas for different rims ( no spokes). I bought it because I like the way it looks; otherwise I would be like everyone else and own a Street Glide..lol Honestly the factory rims look awesome, but I think we can all admit they suck in heavy cross winds.
