Thanks LizardRunner...I didn't seem to have or notice much problems with the solid rims..I have read of others not liking them...the only thing I found with the fatboy was after long rides of 200 miles or so was fatigue from the vibration...but thats the nature of the beast..on the choice of roadking vs gezerglide...pretty much the same bike...but both very nice...good luck on your future choice...
