: Anyone planning on putting spokes on their V-Rod?
DrHeathenScum 11-07-2003, 02:01 PM 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.

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.
DrHeathenScum 11-08-2003, 02:08 AM I'll get some more details tomorrow and try to get some better pics too

DrHeathenScum 11-08-2003, 05:40 AM 40 spokes, Akront rim, custom billet 7075 aluminum hub...
$646.00 for a 19x2.50 complete laced wheel in chrome
Super Kaz 11-08-2003, 09:55 AM Whats the weight difference compared to a stock wheel?:confused:
DrHeathenScum 11-08-2003, 12:44 PM hmmm... I'll see if I can find out.
Super Kaz 11-08-2003, 01:53 PM Thanks Crash I would Appreciate that!;)

Joe,
No proper width 19 inch wheel available?

What is stock? Would 2.50 be ok for a stock tire?
Ketsugo 11-08-2003, 06:15 PM Stock is 3". I wouldn't want to put a 120 on a 2.5" rim.

DrHeathenScum 11-08-2003, 11:44 PM looking into it... thanks for pointing the size out to me John. I thought it was a 2.50.
BikerTrash1130 11-09-2003, 12:20 AM 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.
VRODScout 11-09-2003, 12:36 PM Kinda like the Chevy 350 vs the Mopar 340... amazing the $$$ difference in building those two different motors!

BikerTrash1130 11-10-2003, 08:05 PM 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.
