I'm with know better. Looks nice, but I think those orange wheels look like sheet. Pretty unlikely colorscheme, for sure.

I had my front turns in the same spot for a few months last year. People would tell me they were hard to see in the daytime if someone is coming at you because they are so low. I heard on more than a few occasions that people didn't know I was going to make a turn because they never saw the turn signals. I liked the location and the look, but was concerned about not being seen so i changed them out over the winter. I was also told I might have a hard time passing inspection, depending where I went, with them that low because they are supposed to be so many inches above the ground.

Are those signals up on the bars too? Maybe the lower ones are driving lights or whatever?

Default deuce wheels

Glad to see 1 or 2 bikers liked the Deuce. I bought that Deuce brand spanking new in 2000. They had just came out and so I paid top dollar for mine. They were very popular then.I got a couple who thought it sucked. paint didn't match. well let me tell you matching paint was a very hard job. I took my wheels to a automotive paint supply co. I asked to have the paint to match my wheels that were Harley orange. I was told there are about 50 Harley oranges. Harley changed the orange tint from bike to bike. He told me he could not match the wheel color. All he had was several orange colors to pick from. I found one that was as close as possible. After painting the bike you do not see any difference in color. However when you take a picture in bright sun and with my camera you see the color looks different. Not my fault. I'll take a couple pictures later of front and back views and post if anyone is interested. Also if anyone needs help with doing anything to theirs and needs some help I'd be more than happy to help. You can't see all I did in the picture so I'll explain. First I stripped the bike down. Took the swing arm off and replaced it with one that would accommodate a 250 tire. Split the rear fender and welded in a spacer to increase the width of the new wheel. pulled the transmission gears and replaced the main drive with a longer one that came with the extension kit. replaced the drive belt with a chain. replaced the handle bars with Z-bars and replaced all the lights with bright white LED's. I put bright white LED's on the lower frame. (If anyone pulls out in front of me they better have a good lawyer cause they will not have the excuse they didn't see me coming) Replaced the stock pipes with dual shorties.
