i painted mine gloss black, but taped off the cush part of it.

 

Hmm....I thought long & hard before I even laid down the cabbage for a rear wheel you can barely see, almost had my stock wheel chromed to (kind of) match the new front. I'm glad I went with a matching rear wheel though, the little of it that you can see, with the wide rim, smooth lip & all looks bad ***. But a pulley, rotor and caliper you just cannot see? I don't get it. (and I'm freakin' ****!)

Maybe if you're building a show queen that'll be displayed two feet in the air slowly spinning on a crushed velvet covered turntable with spot lights galore, then you might see it if you crouch down extra low.

 

How much of the pully actually shows with the saddlebags on? I wouldn't want to remove the cush drive myself, but to each his own.

 

slothy, that fits in your color scheme, i'm not so lucky. i'm assuming you rattle canned it? i'll sent it off with the tins and have it media blasted and sprayed red.

Yeah TX i've been contemplating the matching rear wheel for a year now. I got the rear stock chromed and it helped, but still not the same. So, the insurance company is paying for a matching rear wheel.

the rotor will be an OEM chrome swap on ebay.

i'm a detail-oriented kind of guy (****) and the rough black pulley would drive me nuts

 

nope, i had the painter paint it when he was doing my dash black.

 

then theres us that want to get rid of the cush drive all together and go with a chain .....

 

I think Drago's makes a kit for that.

 

i was looking into this to from what i found out you have to get an old style pulley then you have to start spacing it wheel and everthing to get it to line up what i came up with by the time you by wheel pulleys spacers i should just get some exteneded bags cheaper
