What wheel do you run??
I have a 2014 Heritage that im kind of wanting to get away from the spoke wheels. I love the big 21 inch fat spoke wheels but im not sure that is the direction im looking to take my bike in. I love the looks of the fat spokes but IMO they look better with lowered bikes with apes ( you could call it a cholo thing ) there just doesn't seem to be many heritages with anything other than spokes that I can find. was hoping some of you on here might have a different set up that I might be able to gander upon! thanks!!

doesn't look as good without the fiberglass bags installed, but I switched out to FatBoy solids last season.
got tired of cleaning tiny spokes between the bags. I'm also cheap and broke... or vice versa.
I also used to dig the look of the 21" but after I had to ride another guys Road King back to camp while he took an overnight trip to the graybar hotel, I was much more impressed with the stability of the 16", especially on dirt roads. I ended up buying my FLSTC shortly after... but she's changed a lot over the last 17 yrs.

Not a fan of big front wheels myself. Also was not a fan of the solid wheels on my Fat Boy. Many years ago I put RC Components wheels on it. Wicked is the model name.
