Talking ATTENTION: Deuce Owners!!!

I am switching out the front wheel of my trike and am looking to throw a Deuce rear wheel on the front! Gonna make the front end as fat as the rear end! a 160 seems to be the biggest i can throw on without too much of a problem. how do you guys think it would look? i have a couple of pics in my gallery if you wanna check it out now. the skinny 21" wheel doesn't quite match the rest of the bike, in my opinion.

If any of you have switched your rear wheel to a custom application and have your stock wheel sitting in a corner of the garage collecting dust, I would love to take it off your hands. PM me and we can discuss any possiblilities!

Thanks guys!

damn...39 views and nobody has an opinion as to how it will look. i am gonna go ahead with it regardless, but thought somebody might think it was a cool idea....or a lame one.

maybe i shoulda made this a poll about chaps or fingerless gloves. people around here can't resist that kinda crap.

Grimm, What do you have for rear wheels on the trike? Hard to say what the front will look like without knowing what you have on the rear.

Grimm, It's hard to see the rear wheels from the angle of the pictures. Are they chrome? If so, I wouldn't put a stock Deuce wheel. You need something chrome. How does the bike handle with the current set-up?
ps- I like the current look. I think if you put a large front wheel on, it might look like an entry in a tractor pull.
