Mr. "124" Just thought you'd slip that in the "What did I do today" thread huh?

He's in the process of building a 117" motor so....... Knox, I think spokes look great on your bike but I would go with the wheels you posted just for the ease of cleaning, no maintenance, no tubes, no need for "true-ing", and strength. They look a lot like my SMW black contrast cut Poker wheels so I give those a thumbs up in the looks department too. Not to mention, most high quality aluminum MC wheels require very little, to zero balancing. Mine have no weights or balancing beads and they ride smooth.

My eyes were bleeding I looked at so many damn wheels before I came across their site. They seem to have been around a while in some form or another.http://ftdcustoms.com/categorys/_199_12_0_0_0.html

Ok,thanks fellas!
Definitely some good insight. I too love the timeless look of spokes.Mags can look dated fast if you step out to far (kinda like a cell phone in a 5 yr old movie) so thats why I was looking at these. Clean and simple.As far as cleaning the spokes its not that bad..Pre soak with some Simple Green and a car wash mitt makes quick work of em really. My goal is keep it some what old school looking with just a hint of modern without crossing over too far if that makes since? @ Squishy Low,the bars are Petes (Rocket Bobs) 4" with Joker risers.
