Default Deluxe W/ no spoke wheels?

Any pictures of a Softail deluxe less the spoked wheels? I know it's part of its look, but curious if anybody has done it. I had an 05 black pearl deluxe with black tires and I liked it, curious if anybody's put on different wheels.

I do not think it will look too good but I am curious too now. As you said, the spokes in my opinion are part of the vintage look the Deluxe has.

Nothing wrong with non spoke wheels. I've seen some with good looking billet wheels. Get spokes and fishtails if you want to look like every other Deluxe and Heritage.

I put the CVO Deluxe wheels on my '16 Deluxe. I like it.

Zackley, almost as bad as putting hard bags on a Heritage.

Do what you want, it's your bike. But do it tastefully, please.
On the other hand, if you really want to **** off the fashion ***** in here, put on a set of wheels from a Switchback.
