I appreciated the pic, but this is a pretty old post. Since posting up I bought a set of MOCO 80 spokes and WWW's. I haven't completely given up on the idea of disc's and white walls, but for the time being, I'm digging the current setup.

I've been thinking of running spokes too. Powder coating the rim and hub black with chrome spokes just to app a little more chrome to go with the little bit on there

Thanks! They are the stock Fat Boy headpipes with some 36 inch chrome fishtail extensions, and a cheap ebay guard to keep my wifes boot safe. Super cheap and easy to do.

Oh heck no. These are cheap fishtails. Totally hollow. I bought them from debrix for a little over a hundred bucks for the set. And that included brackets and clamps. I have found these extensions on ebay in 30 and 36 inch lengths for under 40 bucks a piece. But what he heck, they are long, chrome and have that great fishtail sound. So I like them. I just today ordered my 36 inch Samson Cholos to replace them. I just really want a both side true dual system, but if running big saddlebags is not an issue, these extensions really are nice.

Spokes were the way to go on your ride. The only fatboys with solid discs that look good with the WWW have black paint jobs IMHO. What size rim did you go with front and back? What's your opinion of the king spokes from Jireh?

I went with the MOCO 16x3 80 spoke chrome wheels. I was bucking the fat spoke trend, lol. No real reason as I like the look, I just wanted to be a little different. I ran the King Spoke wheel on my Dyna. I had no issues with it other than the bearing needed to be repacked before I felt comortable installing it. They came virtually grease free..... which is a bad thing! The wheel itself seemed like a quality piece. Truth be told, had they had the king spoke availible when I purchased my 80 spokes, I would probablly have them on my Softail right now. I just hate DNA and the American made wheels are so overpriced I just had to pass. I simply refuse to pay double the price for two motorcycle wheels, than I paid for four high end USA made Centerline Wheels for my car. What can I say.
