#492303 tatinguy (User) S.R.B.S.I. proud member Senior Boarder Posts: 329 21 inch wheel conversion 1 Year ago   had a brain storm while looking for a 21 hd front tire to relace my r* hub to. If one was so inclined could you not just buy the lacing kit for a 21 in harley wheel and be done with it?? anybody have some input on this??   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/05/17 15:56 By tatinguy.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #492323 yogi (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 205 Re:21 inch wheel conversion 1 Year ago   I am not sure if I understand your question right, Dutch guy he?? But i think you ask if a Roadstar hub will fit with a harley rim?? In that case the answer is no. The roadstar has more spokes then the harley   Logged     HELLO FROM THE NETHERLANDS   The administrator has disabled public write access. #492329 tatinguy (User) S.R.B.S.I. proud member Senior Boarder Posts: 329 Re:21 inch wheel conversion 1 Year ago   yes sorry to clarify my idea was to buy a spoke kit such as this one https://www.denniskirk.com/H54233.sku?utm_source=shopping&utm_medium=cse take apart the stock r* rim and hub and just respoke it with those spokes and have a 21" wheel. I'm not sure how many spokes the roadies rims are but I took a guess at 40 is this wrong?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #492590 tatinguy (User) S.R.B.S.I. proud member Senior Boarder Posts: 329 Re:21 inch wheel conversion 1 Year ago   k so found one error my ways last night in that yes of course the rim would have to be changed as well as spokes guess I should have clarified a bit more in my post   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #494023 tatinguy (User) S.R.B.S.I. proud member Senior Boarder Posts: 329 Re:21 inch wheel conversion 1 Year ago   okay well sombody stop me if this has been done but im gonna continue to post in here as my search unfolds that way if the question comes up again it might help someone. I took some time today to study this now r* wheels are 56 spoke wheels did some looking the only other wheels I can find with that number of spokes are off a 88 honda shadow but alas only 19 inch hmmmm so back to changing out the whole hub then ldcustombikewurks has an axle conversion for the r* to a harley hub but its a bit spendy so I will keep looking there has to be an reletively inexpensive way to do this conversion I will find it   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #494037 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 10090 Re:21 inch wheel conversion 1 Year ago   tatinguy wrote: okay well sombody stop me if this has been done but im gonna continue to post in here as my search unfolds that way if the question comes up again it might help someone.

You have to make a new rim for it and then spoke it and done, it is the cheapest way to go.   Logged     HELLO FROM THE NETHERLANDS   The administrator has disabled public write access. #494065 Vette468 (User) HOT ROD GUY HERE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1090 Re:21 inch wheel conversion 1 Year ago   Good info Yogi !
