Hey dudes

I haven't posted for a while because the computer shat itself so now I am using the daughters. Anyway a mate of mine just changed his Fatboy rear rim and offered my his (new) old one for my Night Train. The rim is brand new 09 model with the holes in it and my dealer reckons it will take about 1/2 hour to fit to my 09 Night Train.

Does anyone have any pictures of the same rim on their Night Train and what are peoples thoughts on the change. Didn't really wan't to do it but the coating on the rims are different. The one on the my Night Train just doesn't clean up as it is not chrome like the Fatboy rim and it's starting to look dull.

 

I have a 07 Softtail Satandard and an 07 Night Train rear wheel will not fit in it. Trust me we tried. Night Train wheel is a little bit wider and wouldn't fit into the swingarm. Good luck and let us know how it worked out.

 

Yeah I will let you know, maybe they changed the complete rear end to the same on both the 09 Train and FB. They are both 200mm rear tyres and the dealer says no worries, straight swap.

 

C'mon you lot, don't tell me I am going to be the first one world wide to do this...

 

Ok..... so I did it and in my honest opinion it looks **** hot, I also put a chrome sprocket and wheel nut covers on just to set it off. Next is chrome front and rear axel covers and then thats it.........hehehe..

 

Looks good man.

 

That looks really sharp. Great job!!

 

omg looks good!!!

 

Thanks guys, yeah I am really happy with it, looks great in the flesh too. I priced having my other rim chromed and it was going to cost about $1000 AUD, including frieght to and from the East Coast.... This rim off my mates Fatboy it is brand new and he gave it too me, goto love your mates don't you!!!

 

wow yea if you got that rim for free you do have a good friend!
