I am looking at buying a Fat Boy. I have heard (3rd hand) that the solid style wheel effects the handling of the bike, apparently more wind buffeting. Some first hand accounts would be appreciated.

 

I have a 2002 fatboy. In heavy winds I could feel the bike being pushed around easier than if I had spokes. I now have fat spoke wheels. The enwer fatboy's (2007 and up) have holes in teh wheels at least. I have no experience with them.

It's a myth, almost an urban legend by this time. Wind doesn't get through a spoked wheel at 50 MPH either. You will get other opinions...

 

Ignore the thread I did a search
