How many run 1 custom rim?
Seems like such a waste on a touring bike to buy a rear custom rim. You really can't see any of it. How many of you run with just a custom front. Is it that noticeable?

On the wheels I sell I tell the guys to go with the rear wheel and re-use the stock pulley and rotor. You will see the wheel at some point, some angle. My personal bike matches all the way around, even if it can't be seen, I know!

I agree with you guys, was just curious how many don't do both. I'm looking for rims now, no idea what I like, too many choices!

I tried it and it drove me nuts even though it was pretty well hidden by the bags. When I decided to order the rear wheel the damned thing was on backorder and I was #172. It was a long wait [:@]

10 1/2" air shocks, 4 1/2" bag extensions.
This is pre 10 1/2" air ride and extended bags.
10 1/2" air shocks, extended bags. They look shadowed however they are black wheels.
