You'll forget the $40 in no time. If you don't install the chrome hardware, you'll never forget it. Your eyes will zero in on it every time you look at or think about your bike.

You sprung for a new wheel and now you wanna chintz on $40 hardware? Just do it or it will bug you everytime you look at it.

Looks great! Did you pay $3100 for just the front wheel or was that for both of them?

just dealt with the same problem. got the chrome lowers and chrome wheel and the bare aluminum spacers stood out bad. so i spent the $40 on the chrome spacers and now i'm happy. but i had to take the wheel apart again to install. not a big deal, but next time it will be a one time deal. you will not regret it. it does make a difference.

Thanks to all of you, new spacers are going into the build. Now every time I look at the front end, I'll say "YEP" it looks completed.
Love this forum
Thanks My1sthog for the offer, but I will be installing this weekend otherwise I would have taken you up on it.
