Default So what do you think? Need Help!!

I finally decided on getting a 21" fat spoke wheel for my Fatboy Lo. I'm wanting to be different than most so this is what I am thinking about doing. I would like your opinions good or bad. Thanks

Black rim, black hub, odd nipples orange, odd spokes black, even nipples black, even spokes orange.
I'm having my seat trimmed and restitched in orange thread
I'm taking off the emblems on the tank and having Harley Davidson airbrushed in orange.

Help me out with your thoughts

I think that would look good, but just be careful it doesnt look to Candy Canned. Sometimes simple looks the best. But the Orange would look good. If it was mine, Id do Black Rim, Black hub, Black Spokes, then do the Nips Orange. That would look SICK goin down the Road. JMHO.

I think that is too busy and will take away from the looks of the bike. Just my opinion. If the bike had some orange on it to match it to it would work better.

I'm with CountryDeluxe. Simple is better. However, customization is an individual choice. It's your bike and you don't need opinions from others.

That's what I'm looking for is some advice and maybe some thoughts that I havent considered yet. I think the orange nips would be slick

Too much orange and you can only ride it on Halloween.

That guy was at the 2011 River Run. Cool bike but over the top for me.

I'm glad you got the teasing part.
