Just keep it on there until you have the $$ to run a 21'' up front. It will come off then.

I like my mixing bowl hub cap...works great if I ever want to bake a cake while on the road. If I every go with 80 or 100 spoke wheels I will ditch it but for now, Im liking it. No 21" for me on the Deluxe. Already got that on my Sportster :-)

I think the bike looks better without it using the 21" and 80 spoke wheels. That's why I was wondering about the stock smoothy without it. I'm concerned it would look too naked and plain.

That is where I'm at. I'm going to leave it until I get fat spokes, then it's a cereal bowl.

Looks better without it. Get the chrome spacer kit to finish it up.

I kinda like mine with the "Bowl" it seems in keeping with the retro look of the Heritage. Although it does make keeping the spokes clean a real B****!
