A 16" wheel isn't bad and neither is a 21"wheel. Actually several people have 21" wheels on and have made several trips across country with no issues or worries. Hell I'm one of them. You can't pass judgment unless you have extensive experience with it.

i keep rubbing sticks together hoping the funds will pop out of them to install the parts in my garage...[/QUOTE]

Keep rubben those sticks together, it may just happen. I've been doing it 68 years now. All I have to show for it is smoke. It must be the money burning up.

I think it could look nice. Keep the pictures coming. BTW, I like the hard lowers on your bike. You do not see many guys using them, but I like the look.

I am looking for a set of Chrome Knuckes right now to replace my spokes...Right in the middle of the two (ish)...Spokes look good but I prefer the solid wheel for maintenance. The only issue I have with it is no one makes a 17" WWW so I will have to give them up...
