Probably better off going to a chrome exchange. There are couple on EBay.

If its the same as the one on the Nightrain which I think it is, I just polish mine with some slightly abrasive metal polish, it comes up pretty shiny but needs doing every couple of months or so.

That's why a Harley is just a starter kit! Use Mother's on it or exchange it for a chrome one.

I have a 2007 fxstc and I actually want to get a spoked back wheel to match my front wheel. It will also help with the cross winds here in Central Cali ....they can be brutal on anyone with solid wheels.

A friend of mine complained tonight about his solid wheels and the wind. I wondered if you could cut some of the solid material out of those wheels??????

Mike5511,

There is a Co on ebay that sells cut out solid wheels, its an exchange program. They have some nice looking wheels and it's pretty cost effective
