Default Chrome Rear Rotor/Pulley

So is it really worth it to get the matching chrome rear rotor/pulley with a wheel package on a bagger?

Worth is a relevant term. If you can afford it than why not do it. The last two bikes that rolled through here for wheel packages were trying to save a few dollars. So neither of them got matching pulleys. They bot got chrome covers. One of the two bike did a matching rotor where as the other one had his OEM rotor polished. You can't tell with the bags on. My personal bike has matching pulley and rotors all the way around.

Hmmm, good question
I have matching chrome pulley and matching rotors all the way around. do you need it, Thechoice is yours really cant see much rolling down the highway as everything is hiden due to the bags..Unless you remove the bags but then why have a bagger.
The down side, more chrome to clean.

Here is a concept I saw a few weeks ago on a bagger....Don't change any rear rims/tire
this person was parked but when looking at the bike rear setup bone a$$ stock, 21 custom on front though..waited a while to see if owner showed up, curious to his reasoning behind that madness, he never showed when I was around, maybe just maybe he noticed I noticed.

Maybe I'm a little weird but I went with a Chrome SWINGARM - no chrome wheels. would like to get a chrome pulley though. I saw a site somewhere thatput some kind of plastic teeth on your pulley, I might like to check that out.

I know what's back there whether the bags are on or not plus Ihave to look atit when I clean the bike. Also, it can be seen with the bags on from certain angles. Personally, I would not change out the front wheel and rotors from stock until I could do the rear at the same time. I hadthis bikefor 2 1/2 years before I changed out as I waited until I could do both front and rear; wheels, tires, pulley, and rotors.
