Re:HD hard bag hardware 1 Year ago
That was the first custom wheel Greg made for a Roadie. I measured everything he needed and emailed the info. I think we were both a little surprised when everything fit like a glove, the first time. Now he has designed a billet cush hub for the custom rear wheels. Like I need another excuse to spend more money..

I think that front wheel goes good with the stock rear, same color scheme and the rear wheel is pretty much covered up anyway
is that front pricey?

You are right, with the bags on there, everything matches well enough. His prices were as good or better than others, and best was that he made it so everything Road Star bolted back on. Everyone else was use HD rotor & custom axle & spacers. Also it was kinda cool to have a wheel that no one else in the world had.
