Something to remember is that the Street Glide wheels have a dual-front brake rotor setup, which means the hubs are different, or you have to get a new fork to mount a second brake on to. The size of the axle i believe is also different (by a few thousanths of an inch), and you'd need new spacers.. anything is possible with a big enough hammer and a deep wallet though.

Agree, they are boring, and the wind push on these solid wheels is driving me crazy. It feels as if I'm on ice. Currently in the market for wheels, any sugestion or good deals advise is appreciated.

Not all Fatboy HD wheels are boring.........I have HD Blades on my 07 Fatboy and I get complements about them all the time. I think Harley has some great looking wheels.

I personally hate the wind drift from the fatboy solids myself, when my tire warranty expires I will be going with a set of Ride Wrights. Can't go wrong with a set of the Fat 50's

My fatboy don't look like much of a fatboy anymore anyway, I think the spoke front will complete the look. The wind drift sucks when you are doin 70 down the highway and it is slightly more breezy than normal. Bike starts to go all over the place. Does not help either with big azz apes on them. lol
