I have Never dug Fat spokes...always wondered why the 80 spoke craze didn't incorporate smaller diameter spokes... thinking that would be a neat look...as they are...I dislike those as well...Too much Mass....

And that wheel should more than offset the cost.. I think they go best on a Softail... But, YMMV

Therefore you can more than offset the cost of a Spoked rear by selling the solid one.. Prolly Make money..

I recently sold a solid rear wheel like that one that had been polished smooth and chromed. I ran if for many rears on my FXWG.
FWIW - I like the way the FXR looks as is.
Isn't that what was called a Low Rider Custom?
I'd leave it original.

The only thing I might change, would be going to polished stainless steel spokes up front only.
Landmark Mfg. makes these in their "Diamond" pattern. They "flash" about 65% more than straight spokes. They look awesome on a 21" hoop too.
