Default Whitewalls on Fatboy Lo?
Anyone ever seen white walls on a Lo? I'm trying to figure what rims I want and Im thinking about going with the fat 50's with whitewalls and am wondering how it would look....

Thanks fellas...

Here is a black fatboy with whitewalls, fat 50's and it is black although it is not a low. And it happens to be mine.

I think it will look sweet!! I have the touring front fender on my Lo as well. After my tire warranty expires I will be doing a Fat 50 with a white wall up front. You wont be able to see enough of my back wheel to worry about doing a rear. Plus good luck finding a 200mm white wall. But I def say do the Fat 50 with a white wall!

I am glad i am not the only one with this crazy idea bouncing around my head. Always been a fan of the Deluxe and the white walls. Do you have a denim black or vivid black lo?

I was unaware of that. For me it does not make much sense to spend the money to get a new rear wheel and tire when you can barely see it.

Drew, did you have to change anything with the front fender to get that 21" wheel to fit?

Yes. My bike is a fatboy. First I had a freind make me some brackets to raise the fatboy fender, then I got a heritage fender. Some peopel avhe stuffed the 21" under their fender without issue but when I rotated the 21" wheel it was clearly touching the fender on my bike.
