they do, but i don't have them going on everyday, it's give and take.. but again finding wheels can get expensive, but you can recoup some of that if you decide to sell the oem wheels online. have you looked at the sponsors here on the forum ?

Wheels, like most Harley parts, are one of those things "you get what you pay for" Look at all the threads on DNA. My suggestion is to Google the ones you are interested in and add "reviews" to your search. You may not find anyone on this thread or even the Softail section that has experience with what you're interested in but chances are somewhere on HD Forums somebody has experience with the wheels you want. Very rarely have I searched for information on a part and have not found a thread here where somebody else has experience with it. Good luck and post up pics when you're done, just try to keep the Fat Boy Lo look. We like that round here

Hi Everyone,

Great pics of your bikes! Wow!! I was checking them out to see if anyone has a small bag mounted to their crash bar bracket on a FatBoy. I just need something to hold a phone, keys and clear lenses. Can't seem to find anything anywhere that will fit and look well. Any suggestions?

Thanks

i'd say get a small bag and just hang it in the middle of the crash bars in the V of the frame. I was thinking of doing the same but for an audio reason

Default Seat mod

Well I contacted Mean City today about doing some mods on my seat. They said they can't move me up and back or back at all. Suggested I look at a stock Fatboy seat. Not sure what to do. I'm looking for more comfort on a seat and was hoping to get rid of some of the cramped feeling. I rode about 500 miles last year on a trip. Could never do that on the stock lo seat again.

So I'm thinking I just deal with the riding position and get a more comfortable seat (most aftermarkets push you forward with more cushion from what I've read). I've also considered the hideous looking HD tallboy seat. Any thoughts? Yeah I've read about every seat thread and post on this forum. Also I'm about 6'3 and 215lbs 36 inch inseam

I really wish I could justify having my Lo AND a touring bike in the stable!!
