Just got the fat spoke wheels mounted up, and I think they look pretty sweet. I was gonna do all chrome, but decided to add a little accent and had them powder coat the nipples and hubs white. I also added a 70 tooth rear sprocket as well for a little more kick down low.The weight of the new front wheel could be felt right away, but a few miles later it no longer made a difference. Overall, I am pretty happy with the outcome.
Next up........big bore and cams!!
That looks great! I like how you've kept the front "hubcap" too.
I like the short fishtails. Can you give any details on those?
Thank you Mike! I ended up removing the front hub cap because it was covering up the powder coated hub too much. The fishtails are just Vance and Hines true duals
