Chrome front wheel only---or both
Given the fact that the rear wheel is barely visible, how many of you would only chrome (or change) the front wheel only?
I'm inclined to do both, but give the cost, and the fact that cleaning the rear wheel is kind of a pain, I'm leaning towards just doing the front.
What are your thoughts on this?

BOTH!
The first thing I look at when I see a bike with a chrome front is the rear. I'm the guy that will ask the owner why the rear is stock....
Then he can not honestly say "Nobody ever noticed it"...

Front only, hope I don't run into Chip anytime soon!
(Just Kidding Chip, we are close enough that we will probably see each other at some point....)
I just decided to spend the money on something else, but certainly would love to have both chromed....

I just did my chrome front end. Added braided lines, chrome calipers, chrome rotors, and yes, I did the front and rear wheel. Went with the Mirror chrome slicer wheels found on the 015' CVO Touring bikes.

Personally, if I were to spend the money, and one day I will, I would do both. However, you can always do just the front now and do the rear later if you decide you can't stand it without.

chrome front wheel
I was in the same place a few years ago. I did the front and decided not to do the rear wheel. Within a week I was doing the rear because, as others have said, every time I looked at it the rear wheel was more obvious. On my new one I did both without even thinking about it.
I'm going to Gruene today... if you're there, I'll ask. LOL
