I dont have hog-pro wheels, but I DO have a DNA 21" fat spoke on my glide...... I'm told the big daddy wheels are pretty good. Lots of bad press about DNA mammoth spoke, but I haven't encountered any of those problems.

Decided since I didn't get my fender to polish out the lower fork tubes. Think they needed it bad.

Looks good!! What did you use besides a Dremel? Was getting under the fork sliders difficult?

Last yr I sanded it all down using 3000 grit wet sanding for the final and then mequires metal polish took me about 6 hours and they didn't shine this good. I used mequires metal polish and zypher 40. Took me about 8 polishing pads with the dremel. But I think it was worth it.

I didn't get under the slider that good. Of you get down there and turn upside down you can see where I stopped.

Lot of work, but it looks great man! Good alternative to chrome lowers.
