IMO $pringers were made for $pokes!

But really depends on where you trying to take your bike. My advise is to find a few pics of the wheel you want on a bike close to yours before you pull the trigger.

yea, spokes are a PITA from a cleaning standpoint, and I didn't like the look on my Custom, so I dumped them.

BUT on a springer....I agree with others, spokes really work with that old school look...

A springer was made for spokes. It doesn't get anymore than that.
