Even though I think you know that those wheels were never used on an originally delivered Fatboy, I guess I could argue that after making one of those REAR wheels into a FRONT, he created a "Set". Before that, they were just two wheels.

We're at crossed purposes! The wheels in the photos in post #1 are 3"x16" FB, those in post #8 are 4.5"x17" Deuce rear wheels.

My post referenced the fatboy wheels that the OP was asking about...nothing about those Double Deuce Rear wheels

But yeah, those deuce wheels in post#8 that I never mentioned are different than Fatboys


That Damn cvaria will do that...just throw crap out which I just can't tolerate


(Disclaimer: I've seen that bike before and am a bit desensitized, otherwise I would have said "cool" he made a Rear into a Front)
