Has anyone seen a V-Rod with wire (spoke) wheels?
A pair on 80 spoke on EBAY. They look good in the picture. Not a bad price.

Went to tne american wire wheel site. Could not find a motorcycle wheel. Found clothes, bags housewares, auto products and more junk. Not sure they care about selling wheels.
I'm not a computer expert but they should expect people like me.

Do you know if their wheels work with the stock rotors and pulley?

Thanks

Thanks for the link. Looks like all the wire wheels will use non V-Rod rotors.

John:
Any problems going to the 3.5x18?

Thanks

John:
You make a good point about the 130s. I could probably live with these if there were no alternatives. It’s hard to believe that a proper size rim dose not exist yet. I like the look of wire wheels so I’m going to talk with the wheel makers and see if they have any plans to create the proper size.

Oozy:
What size front wheel did you use and what were the results?

Thanks again
Larry

John:

You’re absolutely correct. One of the things that impressed me watching Birth of the V-Rod was the delicate balance to obtain proper airflow to the rad.
I think I’ll wait.
Thanks
