Default Fat Daddy scam or killer deal?
I saw these on ebay. As I posted in the past I am interested in a fat spoke wheel for my Springer. You guys convinced me DNA is junk and I believe you. I found this listing claiming to be Fat Daddys, but I suspect they are lying and just calling DNA's "Fat Daddy". Am I correct? Is this a DNA scam or is this just a great bargain I ought to jump on?

With a feed back score of 99.4 with over 200,000 replies I would say they are on the up and up. Remember your safe when paying with Paypal. Or so they say.

Ride Wright makes 50 spoke, DNA makes 52 spoke. That is how you can tell.
