Is it common for bagger drivers to just put a custom wheel on the front and leave the stocker in the back because no one can see it anyway? Or not...? Just wondering.

I just changed out mine on the Ultra from laced wheels to forged wheels. I put a "smoothie' on the rear and a "custom cut on the front". The cost of the wheels was the same, but I did it more for ease of cleaning. With the sprocket and brake rotor on the rear, it makes for a real pain to get in there and clean, so a powder coated smoothie makes for wash and wipe.
