18" spoke rims ( wheels) 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Any body running 18" spoke rims front and rear? If so who built them?
Are you happy changing to 18"? I have a new set of stocke hubs and would like to have them built.
Its time for tires on the 16s so mite as well change now.
Thanks Eric
P.S. 42.7 mpg today

Re:18" spoke rims ( wheels) 4 Months, 1 Week ago  
I person I know use to work for a custom shop. He said there was a company that made a kit that would allow an 18" wheel for a Harley to fit on a Road Star. Does anybody know who makes this kit? I want to put 18" chrome spokes on my roadie. Thanks, Greg

It's not a "kit" .... you need to buy a special 3/4" HD axle for a R* (there area few vendors) and generic spacers. The spacers will need to be cut down according to the HD wheels that you buy.

For wheels you need 84-99 softail with 2" flanges .... these will match up better with the R* rotor and pulley.

We can talk about rotors when you pull the trigger.

Here is a company that has Harley wheels and they make different adapters. Check em out @
http://www.sscustomcycle.com/products/wheels/roadstarpg2.shtml
For $105.00+, you can get adapters for the pully and rotor.
