I would like to see the chrome supercharger. 21"x 3.25 or 3.5" for a better ride. Look at the new Wide glides. Without the 21"it just won't be the same. You've got some nice chrome on yr. bike keep it going. O an loose those fork reflectors.

I have an 09 FXDL with mags. I have just ordered a 21 chrome spoke front and 18 chrome spoke rear from ride wright wheels. I like the old school look, nice chrome spoke wheels and cant wait till I mount them especially the 21 front. All the best on what you pick.

Hey toastman, is that on a 21x2.15 or wider wheel? I know car wheels and tires not bikes yet.

Why don't you keep the wheels you have and powder coat them black. You could have blue stripe done around the rim to match your bike. You'll save alot of money and it would look sweet.

been eying these wheels from southern motorcycle works for my street bob for this exact reason. would like to see photos of them installed but can't seem to find any. the price is right.
