Default Next Step opinions

Not sure which route to go with my Deluxe.

Trying to figure out if I want to do option 1 or 2

1) Ride Wright wheels / tires, chrome swingarm / lowers / trans cover (Front 21x3.5, Rear not sure if I should go with a 16" or 18" rear, or go the route StudioPeg went with fatter front tires.)

or

2) Carlini 14" gangster apes, chrome switch housings, grips, mirriors

Going to upgrade my 33" Samsons to 39" for sure whichever mod I decide to work next.

Think next winter going to do some motor work.

I think option 1 will give you more bang for the buck visually with the look you seem to be going for. The big wheel will be very dramatic and you are able to modify much more of the bike than with option 2. It seems option 2 really is just changing out your bars and controls. I think with the new wheel (and other stuff) your bike will be set up for the next round of mods, which maybe then should be the handlebars.

you havent even given option 3 any thought. Gift me the money on paypal, and watch what i do with it to give you some inspiration. Seems the most logical option of all

Option one, or why not mix it up.

Definitely get the lowers chromed, switch housings grips and mirrors are pretty cheap

I vote for option 1. You will get much more visual impact.That being said option 1 is going to cost a lot more money than option 2. So you are paying for that extra appeal of option 1.
