I don't have a pic for you. BUT, I rode a fatboy once with the solid wheels. I felt like I was being pushed all over the road, from the bottom up. It was really windy, but that set my mind off the FB.JMHO

I've read quite a lot about that (wind push)on this forumbut if you look at the wheels on a Road King Custom they only have very small slots in them and really, they are"solid" like a fat boy wheel. I've never noticed any trouble riding mine. Appreciate the reply though.
I have rode both the fatboy, as I stated, and own a rk custom. There is definatly not the same push 'feeling' on my rk custom. I suppose that little gap lets just enough air push through. Again, though, these are only my observations. Good luck with your wheel hunt.
