so I decided to update my thread, today I finished installing lowering bolts and stock wheel on my deuce, to me stock wheel looks waaaay better than the old one, got couple of opinions from friends/wife/brother and they all agree, old mag wheel made it look like the bike was put together from parts laying around. Also loving 2 inch drop, at last I can plant my feet to the ground without struggle (only 5'7")
Took the bike for a spin and it performs outstanding, easier to ride(because it is lower?) and just looks better. What HD community thinks?

Looks WAAAAAY better. I'm partial to the spoke front/custom rear look. That old front was awful.

Im liking the bike more and more, it had alot of small problems with it, choke cable was broken, primary scratched badly, forward controls wobbly, chain tensioner wasn't even connected etc. Got it all fixed and the bike runs great

Ill be on the market for the shiny rear wheel and new low profile seat so if you close by in Los Angeles area and got those things I'm looking for feel free to contact me.

The old front wheel looked like it belonged on a Model-T Ford. Spokes look way better.
