I'm for the 23" front with fat spokes (18" on back). Every bike I've seen with the 23 looks great, and the fat spokes are the best looking wheels out there.

Black it alllll out.
Ditch the "brown" seat if your going with the black look.
Powdercoat everything chrome. Even the fork tubes.
New rear fender with brake and turns built into a side mount plate
Black bars
internal throttle and wires
upsidedown mirrors

23" spoke up front.


I personally like a solid rear wheel. I don't like seeing through the rear of the bike.

Sorry...I pretty much just mentally changed your whole bike.... But in a good way.

I agree with this. The fat spokes look good sometimes but, I think the classic spokes will look way better with a 21" on your bike.

Here's my switchback, a lot of mods done.
Next on the list:
Black out all the chrome gloss black
Air ride

But thinking about swapping out the wheels AGAIN

Fat spoke 21 fr and 17 rr
Or
Fat spoke 23 fr and 18 rr


Or just leave it alone?

Let me know what you guys think



Those Fat Spokes/Twisted spoke wheels look like they belong on a bike owned by 50 cent (the rapper) Your bike looks classy the way it is, if you do decide to upgrade wheels go 18/21 40 spoke stainless standard style laced.

If that bike was mine I would swap the air cleaner to a S&S Teardrop, and maybe Gloss Black Powder the Headlight Nacelle,Fork Legs,Upper Fork Covers, Handlebars and call it done.

I like it the way it is and probably wouldnt waste much time thinking of whats next, and more about where I am gonna go riding.

What Joe said, 21 with a 140.

That would look wicked!

+1. I like it the way it is. Other than I'm not a fan of wrapped pipes.

I think the sizes look good as is. I think it needs a black front hub, black fork lowers, nice rotors and either chrome or black rocker boxes, or both?

A bunch of people wrote black out the front end, but that's already in the works. As I mentioned black out the chrome and air ride...

Thanks for all the opinions, I guess it's pretty much split between all 3 options! :s

Right now the bike sits on 19/17 street bob wheels
