Just like when Cheryl asks me about a dress - I would have to see it on before judging. Once you fill up the center with rotors it's changes everything.

But, it does look very nice

Not fond of the "skinny tire" thing myself.
Most people put 3.5 x 21's on touring bikes so its not skinny. That what I did.

Oh, so because "most people put on 3.5 x 21's on touring bikes"
means that it is not a skinny tire/wheel then?

Just because most people do it does not mean that I care for it.
Don't like the look.
To me it looks like a fat chick with no rack, and a big ***.
Got a visual on that? Ever see one of them?

Had a 21 on my softail and sold it put on a 16.

The 21 is still skinny.

Yep....your photo above solves it for me.

The balanced look is best.... a pot belly to match a fat *** on an otherwise beautiful bike.

The Vivid black Titan is one of my Faves but also check out the new Vivid Black Apollo. It is the 7 spoke brother of the Titan.






There are plenty of pics of the Vivid Titan in our bagger gallery as well.

You can't go wrong with either but the main difference is if you want the super beefy spokes of the Titan or something a little more elegant like the Apollo. The Titan was my favorite wheel we make until the Apollo came out. The Apollo also has the cuts in the lip of the rim for a little extra detail.

I thought you use to outsource your designs to PM or the like?

When did that change?

Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. Doesn't like a fat chick with no rack, and a big *** to me, but opinions are like ******** everyone has one.

That Apollo is really nice too. I can't seem to find a picture with a black rotor though.
