Default new wheels on, need some feedback

Picked up these wheels on this very forum from Rick101285 (good guy, buy stuff with confidence). I had the rotors, and was waiting on the pulley for the install. I planned on putting them on an '03 that I'm putting together to sell in the spring, but liked them enough to put on my bike. I'll throw the fatboy wheels on the "flip bike"

So here's the question. I picked up a fork brace, but for some reason isn't tall enough even though it's for a fat 21". So do you like the look with the fender? or with the fork brace? neither are attached right now because both will require an adjustment bracket

Fender brace...



fender...




and because I'm an idiot I forgot to put the lower belt guard on before I slid and tightened the axle so I have to drop the wheel again

I like the fender and the spoked wheels.

Your Daughter in the second picture, Mom... Dad is out in the garage taking pictures of his bike again.

With the fender.
for a guy in CT, you certainly have a lot of CO plates.

The bike is looking sweet with the wheels.
I would mount up the fender myself, but some folks like to run without one.

My vote, fender.


Bike looks great, hope you don't have issues with those spoked wheels.
