Default Deuce/Rear Wheel Suggestions

Once again ...(HEY ALL!) I have looked through the Deuce gallery and cant seem to find a bike that has a spoked rear wheel.. Is that a bad idea for a Deuce or does everyone leave the rear wheel alone? I have noticed the custom wheel on the front but stock on rear or custom/custom. Also was wondering 40, 60, 80- spokes any suggestions? Maint. issues with a rear wire wheel. Or is it that Deuce would just tear the spokes out of the Hub with all that power!!!!LOL

Also my atta boys on the bikes in the gallery. Icant wait to post mine.

I left the front alone and changed the rear.......

I wanted something that would work with the front but was not a spoke wheel.
I'm very happy with my decision....

Hey mdewberry, if you look in my gallery you will see a couple pics with a rear 80 spoke wheel. I have taken it off and went with a PM 18" Vintage.

There's lots of spoke wheel makers out there.

Hogpro "hogster"
Hallcraft.

If you want laced wheels they're easy to find.
