silly question but... does it drive better with the thinner wheels? (rather than the original fatboy rims)

Excellent, I'm in two minds as I love the wide wheels... but two tyres need replacing and sometimes the width of my wheels tend to dictate where it wishes to go... I have had serious thought about getting normal sized Vit wheels for mine.
