Default No Longer A "Classic"

Well it didn't take long. The wire wheels and WWW's are gone. Went for a more user friendly option. Would rather spend time riding than cleaning WWW's and never liked spokes. The Hard Bags are being painted as I type.
Still retaining the main reasons I went for the Classic......The 103, and ABS.
Need to take some better pics, but more snow is on the way.

those wheels and black walls really look good on that bike. The hard bags will look good for sure but the bike is sharp with those classic bags as well.

Lookin' good.

Do they make rotors that match those wheels so they can be seen better?

Seems like a shame to have them covered up.

Custom Engraving Ltd.
We had them made for the Fire Riders here in NYC a bunch of years ago, but he sells them as a regular item now.

HD doesn't make rotors to match, at least not yet. That's why I kept the stock ones.
