I agree with the others. On spokes they are ok. On cast wheels not so much.

Here are WWW's on my Ultra. Stock mags powdercoated black. I ditched the WWW's recently in order to try E-3 rubber, but I DO miss the look.

Looking to do the same thing this week.
I bought those suckas from JP and then bought the jam nuts that go on the studs from my Harley dealer. I measured three times and drilled the three holes[shudder] put the studs through and pushed on the jam nuts! Mischief managed! I just had to have the old fashioned EG fender emblems.

Well thanks guys, I guess skinny whitewalls are the ticket. I think they add some class,but the wides just don't look right to me on the alloys. Thanks for the posts guys, it really helped!

Here's my EG with vinyl lettering from a sign shop. They were made from using the original metal ones as a pattern. No drilling. They've been on there for about 9 years.

Having said that, here's a couple before and after pics when I did his wheel swap. They're decent profile pics so it should give you a pretty good idea.
butcher, i agree with you. WWW looks better on a RK.

Your local club member is a lucky guy. 21/18 make a bagger!!!

I'm gonna do the same, I was thinking 3M tape, but I want the emblem flush with the fender.

Did it cover the existing holes?
