Chrome wheel front only?
Has anyone put a chrome wheel on the front only, leaving the back wheel stock. I considering the chrome wheel upgrade and after looking a lot of of bikes, it is hard to see the chrome rear wheel when the bags are on.
Also, any highly recomended chrome rims?

I ran mine that way for a month or so, nobody even noticed. I have the SG shocks, so can can only see a sliver of the rear wheel anyway. Up to you. Problem is, you're going to know and it will eat at you.

I had the same dilema when I bought my wheels.
You can see enough of the rear wheel to tell if someone looks close.
But in my case, I new I would know, and every time I looked at the bike I would see it. I new it would drive me nuts.
I replaced both wheels and now I am glad I did.

Thats like peanut butter with out the jelly,lol. It might look ok but each time u looked at your bike or had the baggs off, you would be kickin yourself in the azz. To me they are like brake pads or wheel bearings, you cant get just one, you have to get them in sets. My .02.

I am thinking about doing the same with a 21" front. Later if it bothers me and when i need a new rear tire I will just do a chrome exchange with the stock rear wheel and just leave it at that.

I plan on doing the front first along with a new front end but will eventually do the back because it will bother me.
