Default Spoke Wraps

I stumbled across these and they are sort of interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about them but from what I can tell they are colored plastic tubes with a slit that you can slide over your spokes. Gives them a fatter look and you could get colors. They have a lot of pics with them on dirt bikes but I can't see anyone putting bright colors on a Harley. They do have black which I guess could look cool and be a cheap option instead of powder. I'm curious how they would look in person.

I don't plan on it and was thinking along the same lines. Just thought they looked interesting.

Years, many years age ago if you ate enough cereal and saved the post code you could order them for your bicycle. WOW they made it to the HD site.

I saved up my UPC codes from all the cereal I eat and got them last winter................... Since i got my bike 5 years ago i wanted black spokes and this is a much cheaper option and much less work,,,, and way less down time. They have a slit down the length of them so I dont see where a lot of moisture will be trapped, time will tell though.

6,000 miles since i added them, they still look the same. That company seems like a nice mom and pop type place, theres a pic on the site of a dyna, thats mine. I think total cost was about 30 something bucks with 2 day shipping.

I like 'em.

Harley spokes start looking like **** as the years go by......this is an easy way to deal with them.

Actually, seeing your pics, they look pretty good. I think the black sets off your wheels.

Way cheaper than powder coating...plus much easier if you ever want to change the color...from the pics it looks good on jwright302's ride.
