I really like the look of fat spokes but I don't even know what it would take or if I'd have to get completely new wheels or what.
I think some fat black spokes would look badass

If you have laced wheels, I'd think just buying the correct number and length needed for your bike then re-lacing the wheels. You'll also have to true and balance it. If that's above your skill level, check out local indy shops.

Fat spokes need a different rim than regular spokes. You need a pile of money. Let me know if and when you are ready to do this and I'll price them for you. When I swapped my bike to the fat spokes I have now everything changed with my ride. People suddenly looked at my bike differently and would just sort of stare with their mouths agape for a few minutes before looking at me and saying that they loved the way it looks.

Aren't you twisted enough, Pig?

Haha yea I guess I am, Longhair. But I ain't shiny and chrome like even though I have tried rubbing polish all over myself, but that's another story for another time...
