That's always been my philosophy.

 

for all you people that say you can barely see the back wheel with or without stretched bags I suggest you see a optometrist soon before you crash, or look at the back of the bike from the side under the saddlebags SUPRISE THERE IT IS!!!

 

If you put 1" lower shocks on and chrome the rear wheel, it will be a lot less noticible. But you are right, looks good just the way it is, all come down to personal preference and pocket priorities.

 

I lowered the rear 2" and did the bag extensions along with the new, bigger 4" Rineharts. Once the bike's up off the kickstand, it's hard to tell WHAT wheel I've got on the back.

 

I have my wheels powdercoated, 18in agitator, and stock rear. The only time anyone notices is when I point it out to them. I think if you have the rear chromed, or powdercoated to match you have a hard time noticing. Second thought, if you were planning on extended bags, thats another way to "cover it up"

 

As long as the rear wheel is the same finish as the front, it's fine. In fact, the Night Trains were sold with a solid rear with spoke front and not too many people were bitching then.

ESPECIALLY if you go with a 16" wheel...18's i can understand matching as there is so much more rim showing

 

I got stock rear wheel and no one has said anything.

 

Dude, your rear wheel looks awful! LOL just kidding. Front wheel Rocks!

 

Can't take my eyes off that front wheel long enough to notice if the rear is stock or not... looks awesome!

 

Hey leohd, lets see a pic of your bike,and not that cartoon sig pic you have up..mines a 18" up front with a 16" solid mirror chrome on the rear,nobody ever notices it unless i point it out.Of course you will see more of the rear wheel on a bagger with 18's front and rear.To each his own. By the way, i will go out on a limb here and assume that "leo" stands for law enforcement officer? If i am correct that would explain the smart a#s coments.
