Cool Old School

Old and mostly don't give a damn what anybody else thinks about my choices....Factory HD has got you by your soft parts and $20000.00 doesn't make you a biker. It's a title you've got to earn. Rolex riders can bite my ***. Does anybody know if you can retro-fit a Fat Boy type, solid wheel to a dual disk, pre 90's Ultra Classic?

I do not know if Fat Boy wheels would fit on an early Ultra, but I do think that they would look good on one.

You might try asking that question in the Evo section of the forum.

The touring section here seems to deal with mostly late model bikes.

And welcome to the forum.

Your from Olive Branch. There is a guy from there, on this forum, that could answer that question in a heartbeat for you.
Otherwise, maybe you should sober up and find your manners when you first come to a somebody else's house.

Huh.. I know the answer to that but I own a Rolex so I guess my 33 years experience doesn't qualify me to be as cool as him.
