Default Wheels, wheels, You decide.

I like both. Between these two choices, what would look best on my bike?

Black




Chrome



Here is a better pic of my bike when it was together:



I'll be adding the SE black leather tour pack to is soon.
A special thanks to BH for getting me thinking of this. [sm=boink3.gif]

Marine why cant you do both? Black and chrome. Just do the rim in black and the spokes in chrome and with the 21 inch you will actually be able to see the wheel even with both rotors. It would look good with the lower black fork sliders you have.

Yeah, that is the source. Thanks brother.

I like both. I like the black look on my bike but not too much black. Still want a little chrome. Not sure of riding with a 21" front. Maybe stick with 18's?

I feel no difference with the 21 really none and with the added look and size the chrome sticks out. It looks and feels great, no issues! Good luck

I'm looking at these on eBay. Not sure if they offer a combo like that.

Any issues with a 21" front? Do I have the right size for our bikes here (18 x 3.5 rear, 21 x 3.25 front)?

I like plain old black. IMO it's kinda of a waiste to use anything else as the disk is what is the most visable.

None! Bolt right on. I kept the rear rotor and pulley factory and got the lemans rotors for the front and used HD fatboy spacers in the front. Check with hogpro about the teeth count in the pulley for the 06, I think its different that the 07 and may need to be changed for the 18inch but I kept my stock one. No handleing issues. I did notice a bit of rub on the inner front fender but just a touchafter a100MPH run to the Keys. I have the 21/3.25 and 18/3.50 or 150?? rear. hope thats right?

I like the look of otb's bike - I'd go with either the black of the black rim with chrome spokes. I like the look of the 31, that it looks taller and it lets you see the wheel.

Just my opinion but if you were buying them for ME, I would have to have the chrome ones. I also like the look of the 21" front. But back down to earth, I can not afford either unless someone wants to buy a 14 year old boy

Ride Safe,

Mike
