Custom Wheel Help

[Frankj]

Hi, thinking of getting a set of these .

A friend of mine who works on my bike had these thoughts/concerns. see below


If you go with a bigger diameter wheel you have to consider the front fender which is made to hug the front wheel, the spacing will not be right and you may have to go with a custom front fender. You would have to buy a new tire, also I noticed they did not list your bike on their site I would make sure the wheel would except your brake rotors and hardware because I am not sure they are the same as a goldwing.

Do any of you have these on your Valk and can you answer his questions for me, love the look

Thanks
Frank

IMHO I wouldn't change the diameter or width of a wheel. The Valk has a reputation for pretty good handling and anything you change will hurt that. Just remove the rotors and polish the daylights out of the stock wheels.

I have called and talked to the owner, those wheels will work.  There are a few members here that have them on their Valks.

Here are two threads with a couple different guys with those wheels with pictures.
