If I do the fat spokes will prob. go 21x3.5 and 18x4.25

And the hog pro ill prob. Stay with the 18" and a 16". This way I won't need custom wheels or tubes

What combo do you guys think would look better
++1 on Hogpro's they look pretty cool...........I'd put them on my Fatboy if I wasn't spending my tax return on college tuition......last year though!

If you go with the 21 up front will you have to change the fender? I really want some fat spokes on my Lo.

Does anyone know if the 21" will fit under the Lo front fender and an 18" under the rear?

BTW, I vote for the Fat spokes or maybe a set custom set by HDW although I dont know how much they cost.

The rear should be fine. For the front you'll need a different fender or add a bracket to the one you have

Kozy, what about the sinister wheels? I know you liked those. You're the one that turned me on to them. Those HP's are nice though. Whatever you decide its gonna look good.

Keep in mind people on the forums have the fat spokes for the "everyone" has them comment. I have seen very few at bike shows here in Houston with them. On the road riding around I have seen none. So it is all relative you need to buy what you like.
