Default FXDWG with fat spokes front wheel
Anyone running on their Wide Glide a front wheel with fat spokes on it? Mammoth, DNA, Ultima Ride Wright? I want to see how they look with those 21 inch in the front.

Those wheels weigh a ton. You don't want to increase your unsprung weight, IMO.

Default My old 1998 Wide Glide
I had them on my old bike, and will eventually run the same set up on my 2012 Wide Glide...

Forgive me for attempting to help a fellow member with some advice. Heavy wheels have a negative effect on handling & take horsepower to spool up. Sorry if I offended the fanbois here.
