The spokes on my 1999 RKC are not so pretty but the chrome still looks good on the wheels. I have seen some rims online with black spokes but all are the fat spokes. Has anyone out there ever replaced their OEM spokes with black ones and are they painted or powder-coated. Would a H-D shop be able to relace spokes wheels or find an Indy. Thought this might give a cool different look for my ride. LR.
I know the dirt bikers like to use spoke wraps, and they do make them in black. I am considering doing this ghetto project to see if I want to drop the real coin on new wheels or spokes.
I just ordered a set of black slip on spokes from Bykas. Everyone seems to like them and for $50 it's a cheap mod. If I don't like them, no harm done. Thx.
