Project FXDXT is underway
So what do you guys think of all gloss black Sinister Big Daddy fat spokes on my Dyna with either chrome nipples or falt black nipples? I know I already have these rims on my other bike and they look great although they are a bit time consuming to clean. I only know of a few Dyna's that run these rims.
I am always looking to do something different than everyone else so this might be a good way for me to go. I would run tubes as I don't trust a sealed spoke wheel. Not a big deal as that is how I run them on my other ride too. Thoughts people?

My new black Lyndall friction rings are in. Here are pics of both sides. I will put them on today when I get a chance and get some pics. Here are both sides of the friction rings which have a new design for cooling as opposed to the dots. Once again any one who does not know ab out these rotors they are made mout of a metal matrix composite which is extremely light and cools much quicker than the stock rotors as well. These are a lug drive rotor that floats and they work great. I have been running them for about 5000 miles so far and love them.

Here are the all black rotors. They are murdered out! What do you think? I have not ridden the bike yet so the rotors are yet to have any wear on them.

I had a black 21" fat spoke we were mounting up so I leaned it on the bike for a pic. I think it looks good. Obviously I would keep the all black rotor on it.

I dig laced wheels. I have Profile Spoked wheels on my Road Glide (changing to '07 CVO Roadwinders). I have always liked black or red rims with chrome spokes. But in reality they suck when you get a flat on the road. Call the tow truck. At least with mags you can plug the tire.
