#282717 Mr Cancilla (User) Are ya kidd'in me! Gold Boarder Posts: 764 Question for the spoke wheel gurus! 2 Years ago   I'm sure it's been done, but has anyone chromed the stock hubs and sent them to a wheel builder and had them wired to a 18" or 21" rim? I've replaced just about everything on this bike but the wheels. Looking for a cheaper alternative than $1000 a wheel.   Logged     My Album   The administrator has disabled public write access. #282722 droptopcaddy (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 255 Re:Question for the spoke wheel gurus! 2 Years ago   i did a 21 inch harley wheel lot cheaper that way,,   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #282723 droptopcaddy (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 255 Re:Question for the spoke wheel gurus! 2 Years ago   [img size=150][/img]   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #282726 slothy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1883 Re:Question for the spoke wheel gurus! 2 Years ago   cleanest white walls ive seen! lol   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #282731 MrFurious (User) Flatlands of NW Ohio Gold Boarder Posts: 646 Re:Question for the spoke wheel gurus! 2 Years ago   H-D wheels are the way to go if you want to stick with spokes and keep the price down. Our R*s use an odd-ball 42 spoke count, so any outer rim will have to be special made and that drives the cost way up. You can get chromed 60-spoke H-D wheels for less than $200/ea and figure around $150/ea for the conversion axles/spacers from Don at L&D Custom Bike Wurks BTW, don't plan on a 3-3.25" wide 21" front wheel if you want white wall tires. No one makes a 120/70-21 tire with a whitewall yet.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #282733 slothy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1883 Re:Question for the spoke wheel gurus! 2 Years ago   MrFurious wrote: H-D wheels are the way to go if you want to stick with spokes and keep the price down.

It's harder if yer' stupid(J.Wayne) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4599 Re:Question for the spoke wheel gurus! 2 Years ago   Here's a company that will replace the wheels with one's with chrome hubs and new chrome spokes for around $952.00 for both. http://www.pacificcoaststar.com/pcs/road_star_rim_exchange.htm Rich   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/05/17 15:06 By TampaSVT.   2008 Road Star Tricky Air Ride(remote controlled) 6-degree Raked Front-end Ape Hangers w/Internal Throttle & Wiring RoadHouse Dooleys Bunch of chrome Online Album http://www.TampaSVT.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #282767 droptopcaddy (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 255 Re:Question for the spoke wheel gurus! 2 Years ago   yea i had a 120 70 on it and when i went to white walls i had to do the 80 80 metsler but i cant really tell that much difference on my 3 inch rim   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #282913 Mr Cancilla (User) Are ya kidd'in me!

Do I need to replace those too? I want to stay with those stock components if possible.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/05/18 07:38 By Mr Cancilla.   My Album   The administrator has disabled public write access.
