At a glance, I don't think it bad at all... Different for sure.

I've thought about this on my bob. Flats suck with laced rims.

Tomlite I really like your FLD with spokes. Looks great! I also think that the WG deserves at least a 21 up front, but that photoshop looks good. I'd like to see someone give this a shot. I'd really like some switchback wheels on my Fat Bob except for the whole second rotor thing.

tomlite: You said the Wide Glide laced wheels are a direct swap with the FLD wheels (no mods needed) --if you don't mind me asking -- how much did you pay for the wheels and WW tires? Any downsides to having spokes except a bit harder to keep clean?

Looks great on your Switchback.
