My new bike! Noob here

I want to cafe it. I bought it last week. The seat and handlebars will be the first to go. Has anyone ever seen wheels like this? I'm looking for 18" wheels or just the hubs. The more I look at these wheels the more I like them.

That's in nice shape for its age! Never seen wheels like those, but they're very sharp: tubeless, Baby... Tubeless! I'm waiting for that company, Tubliss(?), to put out a high-pressure, small inner tube, for spoked rims, which will allow me to forego the standard inner tube. Your bike ain't stock, but it has the makings of a fine ride. I agree: I'd replace the seat and the handlebars, as well. Otherwise, it is really nice. Cheers!

Those rims are very rare, especially if they are original. I think they are remaking them now. I had a 74 Sportster with those rims on them. I would love to have them for my current chopper project. Bike looks very clean. Welcome!

They look like lester mags. But that bike looks pretty dang good!

The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

They are called Invader rims. They are remaking them now but they were hot back in the 70's.
