fatboy rims 7 Months, 1 Week ago  
Can fatboy rims be installed on our roadstars? If so is there much modification required? Thanks.

I would thing they can but I'm not sure. You would need spacers and possibly hubs to fit them if they can.

A friend of mine has a 2000 Roadie with spoke wheels and he added the solid chrome covers which makes the wheels look like Fatboy wheels. That might be a better option to get that type look for your bike.

Just a question. Why would you want to put those ugly hunks of alloy on your good looking roadstar?

You need the rims which fit the 3/4" axle. You also need a R*/HD axles and spacers front and back.
