You know, thats not a bad idea. Im usually not a fan of pinstripes on wheels but now I might consider that. The blue against that back would be more incognito than a red or any other color. Hmmm

It was the first thing I thought of when I saw your bike from the side. everything else looks great, the wheels looks plan (to me anyhow, not knocking you bike in anyway) compared to the rest of the bike. Just a simple touch of color would look pretty sweet I think.

I do agree with you on the plain looking wheels, everyone has all black low rider wheels. I might go with a polished or black aftermarket wheel eventually though. Not sure what Im going to do just yet.

Great thread. I'm considering going with a LR S if HD offers something other than black.

It's a little late now bu maybe sell or possibly trade someone for a set of the stock Low Rider wheels (the black and machined ones) and polish the machined portion of the wheel. I think that'd look pretty sweet and something no one's done as far as I've seen anyhow.
