Maybe he liked the satin chrome...?

I always beleive in "to each his own" but man...

Then again, this guy could think the same thing about my bike, so live and let live I guess.

As for this one, I actually really REALLY like these wheels! These are the exact ones I am looking at except the spokes I want are black and the front wheel is either going to be a 21" or 23" (23" might be a little exessive).

Or either one of these, but they would cost an arm, both legs, my left ********, a kidney, my vocal cords, my spleen, and probably at least one eye:

Oh, to dream...

Yea I like those wheels and would like a 21" up front and slam the back. That's what I want to do with my fender but I've been too lazy over the winter.

I have to say, that all of the different tastes and styles is what I find the most interesting about the modification of harleys. So I gotta agree with you here. "To each his own" is what it's all about bro.

REALLY like this one! Has the essence of "Wicked". Really like molded and stylized wheels.. something a little more solid-feeling then Spokes.
Old-Fashioned Spokes just feels more like a Schwinn 10-speed to me for some reason then a Motorcycle.

I don't know.. just a personal thing.

Yea, those are probably my favorite but... Over $3k for a set of wheels, not including the tires! I can pick up those spoked ones for right at $1k for an 18"x5.5" for the back and a 21" for the front; this also does not include tires but, like I said, this will be a little ways on down the road before anything that drastic happens to the bike again... Unless I win the lotto of course

They were running around $3,100 at the Laughlin River Run mounted with tires.

That leads to my next question. Why are wheels and tires so expensive? I just want spokes, 21 in front 18 in rear.

New Pipes on mw 1.5 week old lo

Just got the V&H Big Radius 2-2, Stage 1 Air filter, Screaming Eagle race tuner put on today. I was very disappointed in the stock Harley sound. I am very satisfied with the New Pipes.
