New Wheels for my Train?
What do you guys think? I kind of wish they brought the black powder coat up on the spoke nut a bit. Good deal? Should I get a 21x3.5" up front instead? I have the heartland kit on right now mocked up, so I'm thinking new wheels would make it all shine. The only thing that really concerns me are axles sizes and spacers. Lots of the problems I've seen with DNAs in other posts have been those issues or wrong hubs totally.

Hehe thanks, but I haven't bought it yet. Want to get some opinions first. I'm thinking of calling them and making the front wheel 21x3.5" and have them black powder coat the spoke nuts along with the rim and hub.

I personally don't like those on a Night Train, I prefer the 60 spoke. I would definitely step up to the 3.5" front, thats what I am doing when I need a front tire. These are what I want to upgrade to.

I like them either way but prefer the colored spoke and chrome nipple for the contrast.Seems to be a crap shoot with DNA on getting the right stuff the first time.I've got Ride Wrights on the Train and DNA'S on my Sportster.The RW'S bolted on no spacer or axle size issues.The front wheel on the Sportster needed a bearing change and spacers for the front to fit.Easier for me to do that than dealing with them for the price and time frame to change.G.
