Well...there's my conundrum.
I also just finished restoring a set of Lester wheels.

I can't decide which one would look better on the bike.

Yes, 19" front, 18" rear. The Lesters may be slightly wider. I'll have to check.

Edit: For all intents and purposes, they're the same. They would take the same size tires.
 
I'm a Lester fan, but the ABE's do have a different look to them. The Lesters do of course look a little 'pedestrian' and could be confused for Yamaha mags etc, but again, I like the simplicity.

Nice thing is you have both and can choose :)
 
If you polish the lips on the abe's those get my vote. If you dont I think I want to say the lesters. Either way they look phenomenal.
 
You can't really polish the lips on the H.A.'s. They have a finely machined surface...you can just barely feel the grooves with your fingernail. Plus, the fact that they're now powdercoated and clearcoated.
