Is that wheel a Colorado Custom?

No, that was/is a Rampage Escalade wheel. Still have the set sitting in the garage.

Default Chrome lower legs

Have you checked out the Arlen Ness hot legs? They clean up the front end A LOT! They are a little more pricey than the harley legs but you do not need to purchase the fork cap or the axle because they are included. I have put a picture up as well so you can see it. They come in deep cut and smooth depending on what you have done so far.

Default cow bells

They do no include the cow bells but you can get a set of smooth chrome sliders for a great deal. The sliders aftermarket are about $45.00 shipped. But this way its nice and rounded at the bottom of the legs with the caps that go on.

Yeah, I'm checking those out as well. I probably won't be doing wheels for a while, so I'm trying to decide how these would look with my spokes. I think they look great with custom wheels. Thanks!

The Ness are Nice but our smooth bottom lowers are even cleaner. When you compare the two side by side there is no comparison. The smooth bottom lowers are made so that the axle threads into the right lower so there is nothing on the right side lower but a smooth rounded bottom and on the left the axle mounts flush with a round cap for a super clean look. A hidden axle with the Harley lowers looks good but is not nearly as clean.
