Default Black Spokes
does anyone have a front wheel with a chrome barrell and black spokes? if so can you post some pics? i'm debating on what to do with mine. i'm thinking about only powder coating just the spokes and leaving the rest alone to kind of match the stock rear wheel with the black middle and polished lip. and should i powder coat the nipples too or just leave them alone?? i don't have the money to buy a new front and rear wheel which i would love to do. so what do you guys think i should do??

It's a Harley rack and Kuryakyn bag. I'll try to find out which ones.

bought new ones.I had 2 that were less than perfect when I took the wheel apart.If it wasn't for them being 15 years old I would have coated them.If you can get someone to put the wheel together for 30 bucks as in your other post go for it thats dirt cheap.
