Fat Man missing parts
One of the many parts being giving to me with the 25, is a Fan man steering wheels. First thing I noticed is that he lost the screws that hold the wood rim on. Now that I've had a good look at it, the center hub seems to be missing a screw in badge? I also don't know what else is missing to make it function.

Re: Fat Man missing parts
Vincent just regular wood screws will work even better if they were slightly rounded imho. Check the depth of the existing hole’s & diameter for your screws. It appears your steering wheel is set up for a horn. I don’t think it’s a Fatman steering wheel but rather a locking steering wheel in which case you may need a key if it is not already engaged for steering. I’m always a bit hesitant to use those with out the key or a way to disassemble to see what I actually had. This style has ball bearings involved for free wheeling when not engaged. Be careful. Best John

Re: Fat Man missing parts
It’s going to be tuff finding the right horn button. And, that’s not a Fat Man steering wheel.

Re: Fat Man missing parts
Good to know. I only know what the owner told me which is why I'll be asking a lot of questions!
Thanks.
