The guy my father in law bought the wheels from sent me a pic from when he had them on his Fatboy.
Guess I need to start shopping for a heritage front fender now.
I'm loving that look.

Back to the drawing board I guess...
Finally got the wheels paid for, got the front mounted and LOVED the look.
Took a quick spin around the block and as soon as I touched the front brake the bike shook like hell and I could actually feel the lever pulsing in my hand.
Brought it back, put it on the lift and sure enough, a bent rotor.
This is an out of production wheel so finding a rotor is about impossible and even if I did, I'd pay about half of what I paid for the whole setup.
My father in law agreed to take them back and give me back my money so now I'm back to shopping.
I'm definitely a little bummed because that wheel really transformed the look of the bike completely.

If you really like the wheels and were bought at the right price you could replace the rotors with something very close. Most people would not even notice. Rotors can be had for $100. Have the seller reimburse you? Just a thought...
