What Does This Mean?
"2000-2006 Fat Boy Wheels
The Fat Boy in these years came with 16" x 3.0" wheels on the front and rear. The stock size replacement wheel that we carry in every wheel style on our website is the 16 x 3.5" size. If you purchase this size wheel, you can use your stock tires and will not have to change them.On these year Fat Boys, you can put a 16 x 3.5, 17 x 3.5, 18 x 3.5, or 19 x 3.0, front wheel without changing anything on the bike at all.
As far as the rear wheel, on 2000-2002 models we recommend the 18 x 3.5 wheel with the 150/70-18 Metzeler or Avon Tire with our special pulley spacer."
Two questions:
Why would you put a 150/70-18 on the rear and why a special spacer?
If I want to put 60 spoke, black wheels on my 2000 Fat Boy, and not spend too much money, what would you think would be the best choice?
What size wheels would be impressive looking? I like the fat spokes, I don't know if they come in a 60 count or just a 48 count. Do you?
