Anybody know of spoke wheels that will fit our Valks?  I've looked at VTX wheels but the rear is only 15" (final drive on left instead of right) and the front, while correct diameter, has only one brake rotor.

Probably doesn't exist.... Undecided

You do realize with Spoke wheels you will have to run inner tubes, no more tubeless............................................

There is a company out there who makes em, but they are $1,000 + change each..........   They specialize in HD wheels.

Yeah I knew you have to run tubes.. no problem.  I'm thinking about making my Tourer into a chopped custom and think spokes would look better on that style bike.  Thanks for the info - $1000 is a bit steep :yikes:

This is exactly what's wrong with us Honda riders. uglystupid2 A Harley owner worth his salt wouldn't leave the driveway without at least 8-10K in chrome on his ride. $2k for wheels, pocket change, come-on we're not talking rat bike here! 2funny

So true -- point well taken.  laugh

Doesn't change my mind, tho... Not paying $1000 each for wheels.  I guess I'm just cheap that way.  I'm actually considering approaching the local custom bike builder shop and asking if they'd be willing to do the work on the cheap in return for them getting to put their name on the bike.  "Custom work by STABWOUND BIKES". :LOL:
