Seriously? Your other mods make it look like one of the bikes ridden by the Black Widows in Every Which Way But Loose. So, why worry about the wheels?

The mods you've done make your bike look really cool.
How about painting the wheels in matte black ?

Trigeezer, not sure if I’m being made fun of or complimented on the Black Widows reference but either way it’s all two wheel therapy, right?
Thanks HD USA - I think I will try toning down the wheel by blacking out the polished portion. I don’t know, it’s just a weird wheel design. The solid black with chrome on the older Fat Boy, I think?, would really finish the build - but lots more to do still

lt was innapropriate of me to criticize your customization. I think it’s cool that guys like you customize their bikes to achieve their dream, whether or not others like it. I’m sorry for my crappy comment.

As far as the wheels, I agree they don’t go with the scheme. Maybe you can look around at the various options, and post on the Photoshop forum for someone to Photoshop in the wheels you are considering.

Ride safe, and enjoy the ride.

It’s all good trigeezer; I know you’re confused and trying to make your two wheels feel like you’re in a car with ac.
But really: can you picture these 2013 fat boy wheels on my black widow wannabe?

I agree, the look pretty gay. I would mount spoke wheels if I could.

You can make anything fit with enough time and money. Your bike is screaming for wire spoked rims.
