Default 2017 RGS: Front wheel or both?
Since I'm a big fan of chrome and have many chrome components on the bike, the stock front wheel on the 2017 Road Glide Special (dark grey) bothers me.

I'm looking for a 19" front but think it's a waste to do the rear since the saddle bags cover most of the rear wheel.

So....would it look tacky to leave the rear stock and get a shiny chrome front wheel?

Tacky? Well I reckon it would, but that's just me!

It would definitely look like you 'cheaped out'...

Both but you don't have to match. On my lowrider I did a solid chrome wheel on the back and on my street glide I did a solid black on the back. Both were half the price of a full matching set.
