Default 21 " Spokes and a Fairing - Pics Please? / Pros and Cons

Looking to order some 21" spokes and matching rear for my SG.

Have seen a few pics on tourers, but mostly Road Kings-

First set of wheels ever bought for a bike, and I am set on spokes, just want to see some more pics before I spend a couple thous.

Also, let me know what size tires wheels you are running please

Pros/Cons spokes on these tourers?

Thanks all!

Check out Ridewright's website. Lots of pics of baggers with spokes.

Here is a nice 21x3.5 Big Daddy on a Street Glide. If I were doing spokes I'd do the fat spokes, I think they look much nicer. Yes, I can get them for you. PM or call for specific pricing please.

best advise is to buy a high quality rim. It will pay off in the long run.
