#119533 SoonerFlash (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 89 Wheel upgrade for 02 Roadstar 3 Years, 8 Months ago   I have an 02 Roadstar and would like to install a later model Roadstar wheel. Several reasons for the the desire to change, the main reason would be to get a tubeless set-up not to mention to get away from the less than desirable poorly plated spokes. Any ideas on how difficult that would be? I'm curious if I could still use the present brake set-up or would I need to change the calipers & rotors as well. What about spacers, axles etc. Something tells me this project will take lots of planning and trips to the cycle salvage before I start.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #119537 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Wheel upgrade for 02 Roadstar 3 Years, 8 Months ago   Spoke to cast   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #119538 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Wheel upgrade for 02 Roadstar 3 Years, 8 Months ago   I sold my old 05 cast wheels and I think he had to get some spacers and he also had to use his old OEM pully instead of the one that was on the wheels. It can be done and I am sure some one who has done it will help you out.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #119569 ultrastar (User) Keep The Speedometer Side Up Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:Wheel upgrade for 02 Roadstar 3 Years, 8 Months ago   SoonerFlash I have a 03 limited Edition and I picked up a set of 05 cast on Ebay and did a chrome exchange, If I rememger right I just had to us one of the spacers from the 05 . http://www.cycleimage.com/   Logged     Keep The Speedometer Side Up http://s366.photobucket.com/albums/oo105/ultrastar1/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #119607 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

He's done all of my chrome work over the past couple of months (entire front suspension, rear suspension, brakes, brackets, engine covers, etc.). It's all been nice work. I look forward to getting the wheels next week. Thanks, again.

Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Wheel upgrade for 02 Roadstar 3 Years, 8 Months ago   I was wondering if the polished rotors would pose that problem now I know. I was thinking about polishing mine when I put me wheels on and decided not to just for that reason. SLUGUY these are Performance Machine wheels and pully that I have.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access.
