Default Couple Luxe pics (winter mods)

So this is the worst winter ever in New England.

Here are some pics of my winter mods, and also a mock up (PS) of how it will emerge after winter. The mock up has the back lowered ( I have Progressive 422's that I need to install) and also an 18" front wheel that I'm toying with.

What do you guys think




Here is the mock up. Lowered and 18" up front

If you're gonna change the wheels, you might as well do some fat spokes. If you're anything like me, you want a 18 or 21 inch fat spoke wheel....then you look at cheaper options...then you end up going with what your first instinct was!

Your bike would look siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick with some chrome fat spokes!

If I change the wheels, I'd be getting an 18" Sinister Billet Daddy's.

I definitely like the rear lowered the way you have it mocked up. Wonder if rubbing would be an issue. Not so sure i like the 18 with the whites walls on the front. Personally, I think the 16 looks better especially with Ridewright Fat Daddys.
