XL 1200 48 wheels on a Fat Bob?
I was just looking at the specs for the 2015 sportster 48 front wheel:
130/90B16 73H
The tires for my Fat Bob are also 130/90R16
I'm wondering if you could get a spoked front 48 wheel and put it on a 2010 Fat Bob? That way I could have spoked wheels... Maybe the axle is different? I know the forks are HUGE on my Fat Bob. Don't know if this would be a problem.
Then the back wheel... any idea?
Cheers, Greg Icky

It's a Single disc Mid-glide wheel vs. your Fat Bob's dual disc wide-glide Wheel.
At a minimum, you would need to drill/tap right side of 48 wheel for another disc (at least the wheel has provisions for that). Then make custom axle spacers and also disc or caliper spacers.
