Custom front wheel only, really a big deal???
I have three mods planned for my Road King. Apes, exhaust, and a 21 front wheel. I had planned on installing one of the Fat Spoke wheels such as the Ride Wright, DNA, or King Spoke, but I was only planning to do the front. Given the fact you can see so little of the back wheel anyhow, is this that big of a deal? Especially given the fact that the factory mag on the Anniversary models are already chrome, and look fairly similar to the fat spoke wheels to begin with. I guess my question is, will an aftermarket fat spoke wheel look goofy when paired up with the stock chrome Anni. mag? Opinions please.

I don't think so I want to run 21 spoke front and solid 16 rear combo ,with the extended bags.

It matters to me. You can see the rear wheel and it looks as though the owner either "cheaped out" or said f&*k it. Either way, it looks unfinished to me. If it doesn't bother you, you have saved about a grand, so congrats.

that is usually my exact thought, but in this case he already has a chrome wheel on the rear so i think it will look fine, i actually going to run a solid rear chrome when i do my front wheel too. fact that you see so little of the wheel i think the solid chrome rear looks great.
