Aye bud. I am not worried about how it will sit...progressives will cure that after the fact.

Have you checked out the Sinister Twister Daddy's under the Black Collection. Very cool looking wheels. The come in machined and black finish and according to the site they come in a 19" front wheel.

Looks like they will be a hell of a lot easier to keep clean as well. Just another option for ya.

Aye all that stuff is groovy...but not exactly what I am after.

I threw a fat spoke on pic to compare. Black spokes with alum rim. Even though not billet daddy, I just wanted a sense. Hmmm hard choice compared to the all out alum/satin chrome.

VS.

18" x 130 up front on mine. To me it's just the right balance between a tall wheel and keeping the 'meat' of a heavy twin.

Still like the black spokes for you man.

21's thin out the look on the front end imo...why I refuse to budge on it:P

Phrogflyer's has the same fenders and do look awesome....to me it doesn't look beefy anymore for cruiser.

That is a Night Train with an FL frontend with a 21x2.15 wheel.

Here it is when he switched out to a 3.5" wheel. Although I don't think he is running a 120/70 tire in this pic or it looks like it would have more side wall.

I don't have much input for wheel ideas but I must say I really, really like the direction you went with the exhaust. The fishtail look is awesome but your fishlesstails make me drool. Reminds me of the early 60's lowrider impalas with the dual chrome tipped exhausts. Hope you don't mind but I may bite your style when it comes to my dual exhaust purchase.

I like the black spoke too. I dunno about the all Alum/satin chrome. It just seems to me to scream, "Hey, look at my front wheel!".
The black spoke seems to flow MUCH better.
I'm just sayin.
I'll go drink another beer now.
