Your bike is SICK just like it is. Although I like red rims too. I've been wanting some of those pipes for a while also.
oh yea, is that your wife's VLX in the background?

Chop On,

Red rim, black nipples, and chrome spokes.

I like your bike the way it is, the photoshop of your bike with anodized rims look good also. My bike has red rims with www, but I went for a much older 1950's look. I don't think that you want to mix the look that you have. Yours is more contemporary, cutting edge. The pipes look great. My vote would be to keep them chrome or powdercoat the rims black for a darker look.

I think the red hoops would look cool but keep the chrome spokes. Black spokes would look good as well but as you can see I'm biased.

No to red...even the photoshop job with the anodized red looks ridiculous in my opinion. I'd keep 'em chrome or what bugsplat did...chrome rim/black spokes...that looks pretty sweet. Good luck with whatever you decide.

How dare you insult her like that. LOL. She has a Sportster. That is one of my tenants rides. The red anodized looks insane. I wonder what the cost on that is. Hmmm. I still need more ideas. You can get those pipes I have new for $135 on ebay. Drag does not seem to carry them.

Your sled already kicks azz... keep it gangsta.
Here's a picture of a Deluxe with Whitewalls, black rims, stainless spokes and black hub... maybe add a red pinstripe on the lip of the rim to match the red you already have on the tins... just a thought.

Yea, I've been watching them on ebay for a while. BUT, I'm laid off right now. So I won't spend any extra on the bike till I go back to work.
