fatboy wheels on an 07 heritage softail
They fit prefectly.
I asked the question before and got the run around and never got a straight answer, i did my own research and found out that fatboy wheels from 03 to 06 are direct replacement to 2000 and up softails, the only thing that has to be replaced is the spacers and in the 09 and up the bearings.
Hope somebody can find this info useful.
here is mine with 03 fatboy wheels.

This is also a good option for some of the people that have has repeated loose spoke issues. Picturing this in my mind I would have thought these wheels would take away from the bikes old school vintage look but it really doesen't.

Yeah, I have been pretty surprised how many people are ditching spokes for any number of various mag wheels. I always liked the look of spokes, but when I saw my Fat Boy in the stealership, i just fell in love. And the chromed out disc wheels had a lot to do with it.

All 2000-2007 Softails had 3/4" rear bearings. All 2000-2006 Softails had 3/4" front bearings. 2007 Softails had 25mm front bearings. All bikes 2008 up have 25mm front and rear bearings except Springers which had 3/4" front. This is info I got from the local HD several years ago. Just so happen I was flipping through a J&P Cycles catalog the other day and they have the exact years and axle sizes listed.

Unfortunately, they don't fit on the new FLSTCs, and I especially like the ones on bikerlaw's sled. I went with the 9-spokes instead (sig pic not updated yet). Didn't really change the Old School vibe that much either.

Been thinking of putting them on my xbones too ... No more inner tubes to worry about, living where I live would love to be able to plug a tire and ride on. Found some nice ones on ebay, but cost of shipping them prohibitive, and new from dealer in Kuala Lumpur about 3 times what they cost in the US
Don't think they would take away from the "old school" look either.
