This discussion is about my deluxe, not my nitetrain that is my signature picture. I have not had black floating rotors on the deluxe-yet.

If I decide to do spokes i am goin to completely powdercoat the whole rim black- i hate chrome. and use black tires.

Im in the process of powdercoating the dash, the tombstone, the cam cover, the aux light bar and front and rear turn signals

im replacing the current Carlini Cleansweep handlebars with Piston risers and 1 1/2 thick broomstick dragbars-powdercoated black

It has "brass knuckle" levers and passenger footpegs.

Hksigman, I have to go back to my earlier post. With brass knuckles levers, wrapped pipes, and drag bars, you are using your bike to tell the world you and your bike are rugged and bada@@. Spokes speak to classic or classy looks and lend themselves to the nostalgic feel of most deluxes. You have chosen to go against the grain and take your bike in a different direction. The skulls work for that look, besides it seems like you're leaning that way.

You're only considered a rebel until others see that you may be on to something. Then you're considered a trendsetter.
