So mine's not a "classic" any more? Does it really matter if you do it right?

 

IMO your bike looks great like that. Why change that "OLD SCHOOL LOOK" That makes it a RKC.

 

Gotta love those fat daddy spokes! Just can't afford a set.

 

It is a non-issue. Why spend your life worrying about "what if"? Keep good rubber on your wheels, use new tubes and new strip at every tire change, and just ride. It will be OK.

Don't listen to the Chicken Littles.

SG wheels looks pretty good on the King if you want to stay in 16". If you want to jump to 21/18 combo... lots of choice!!!

 

Not that I don't like my HogPros but I do kinda miss the wires and wide w whites. I have a buddy that has his 2005 polished RoadKing wheels for sale.

 

still have my leather bags, still have my windshield, still have my wire wheels and white wall tires. i can put it back to original on a Saturday morning. keep the look, change the look, thats what make a road king so great,

 

and that my friend,is the perfect world!! Great idea to keep your stuff...once or twice a summer you can have basically a different bike in a matter of a couple hours at the most!
your bike looks great!!

 

I didn't know stock laced wheels could be converted to tubeless. Is it irreversible? If you break a spoke can they still be replaced?

The only solid wheel I'd personally use would be one of the regular 28 spoke RK/EG/etc cast wheels, but chrome instead of bare/painted. They don't look too bad, but don't have the look of the spokes, either.
