I have custom billet V-Rod hubs and Akront rims now too!

The hubs are about $340.00 each and the rims are about $150 to $250 each depending on the size and finish.

Complete wheel assemblies are available anywhere from $650 to $800, depending on size and finish

Finishes available: Polished, Chrome, Anodized, Powder Coat

Sizes available from 16x3.50 up to 21x3.50


Also available for any Harley or custom bike.

First reaction: :eek:
Second: :notworthy
Third: :( :broke

Any pics? How many spokes (hopefully 40 or 60)? I'd like the stock 19" size in chrome, how about a quote for the hell of it. I am thinking spring would be a good time for a new front wheel.

What is stock? Would 2.50 be ok for a stock tire?

Stock is 3". I wouldn't want to put a 120 on a 2.5" rim.

looking into it... thanks for pointing the size out to me John. I thought it was a 2.50.

Hmm, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread...

It is amazing, the VRod is on it's 3rd production year, and it is still a challange to customize. I guess that is why I am drawn to it more then a soft tail, which would be too easy to customize.

Kinda like the Chevy 350 vs the Mopar 340... amazing the $$$ difference in building those two different motors!

Dr,
I picked up my new mirrors today at the new Mainstreet Cycles location, and I told ChopperSteve about those hubs, and he was VERY interested. He had an aluminum 19"x2.5" rim widened to 3", but it wasn't cheap, and he made brackets to mount the stock brakes.
Do these hubs need adaptors to fit the stock brakes?

nope, they are V-Rod hubs.
