Fat Wheel Conversion
Bigger is better. We make it happen.
Converting your bike to a fat front wheel gives it aggressive appeal and performance. Fat wheels are our TSCC specialty, In fact, we accomplished the first-ever 23″ fatty conversion. Come to us for this work, and you get the best. Below is a guide – some things to consider before scheduling your appointment.
What you need to think about:
What wheel do I want?
What’s needed for single-rotor conversion?
Available Fat Wheel Conversion Sizes
Available in these sizes:
- 18″ Fatty
- 21″ Fatty
- 23″ Fatty
1. Wheel
“Which wheel size, design and material do I want?”
Pick the size of wheel that you want. Pick the style of wheel that you want. Pick the material that you want: Chrome, Black or Contrast cut?
2. Triple Trees
“Which triple trees do I need?”
You will need new triple trees for a 21 or 23 fatty conversion. For the 21 fatty, you will need a 23 rake kit. For a 23 fatty, you will need a 26 bolt-on rake kit. We recommend American Suspension or HHI. If you have a Road Glide, the fairing mount is necessary for the 26” kit. All 23” fatty builds will require extended brake lines and after-market forks and cans.
3. Fender
“Which style of fender do I want?”
There are several options available to choose from–including classic, wrapped, or a cross between the two. We use Metal Elite Design.
4. Forks & Cans
“Do I want to change my forks and cans, or keep them stock?”
You will need to decide: Do you want to change your forks/cans, or keep them stock? We strongly recommend to changing them to avoid any potential issues with the fender. There are several styles to choose from, but our favorites are made by American Suspension.
5. (Optional) Single Rotor Conversion
“If I’m going to do a single rotor conversion, what do I need?”
If you have chosen to go with a single rotor, you will need a six-piston caliper kit. You can stay with an 11.5, 11.8, or 13 rotor. HHI has all the kits you’ll need.
6. (Optional) Air Ride
“Air ride is bad-ass. Do I want to do it?”
While this isn’t necessary to complete the Fat Wheel Conversion, it is an awesome upgrade for your bike. Dirty Air and American Suspension are both great air ride systems. Don’t forget your MRI Center Stand. And an important note: If you still have a stock exhaust or true dual under exhaust, don’t worry because we’ve got you covered… you don’t need to change your exhaust with an SOB Baggers Center Stand.
