mags. safer and easier to repair. spokes are OK if you are viewing this webpage with a Commodore 64

One of the reasons I bought the superglide "custom" was the spoke wheels.
Classic Harley look.
I do agree though, on a 10.0 or faster drag bike I'd have a mag/PM wheel on the rear.

And what about the 20 year old fuel injection technology?

Seriously though, spokes are the only way to go IMHO, unless you go with a nice solid aluminum wheel ala Fatboy.

Dynamite, I just wanted to say I love those Rinehart Staggered's on your bike. I'm installing a set on my 07 low rider today. How do you like them? BTW my bike has spokes too and I would'nt consider anything else. Love the look.
I love my Rineharts! I was just looking on the website b/c someone else w/ an 06 or later bike asked me about those pipes, but I didn't see where they made the staggerds to fit on the 06 and later Dynas. Where did you find them? I got my from M&M.
