Desperately still searching for a 21.5" Custom rim for the honda Valkyrie

www.bikersimage.com no longer produces them and from what I know they were the only ones who produced them... I've been looking to get one for over 5 years with no luck.

If anyone has one, or knows someone who does, I'm willing to pay $2500 for a used one.... or if anyone knows someone who can make one for me, I would appreciate any advice or direction :'(

Roadstyler in Poland makes quite a few parts for the Valkyrie, and from what I've read, the quality is good. No personal experience with them so far. They really do seem to be enthusiastic motorcyclists, rather than just business folks. They will make you a custom wheel, and the prices seem pretty reasonable.   https://www.roadstyler.com/en/custom-wheels/

No one answers the phone or replies to emails. Doesn't look too good but I'll try again in a few weeks.

It's the final piece for my Valk :(

  I am pretty sure I saw one on face book Valkyrie parts. It was within the last few days.

There was a 19 in front and 16 in rear for $600 listed on face book.

My personal opiion is that the big wheel lock is a hideous fad, like the squatted pickups, but to each his own i guess.

I saw those as well. I looked up "Enforcer Wheels". They are made by DNA Specialties. Their website shows no listings for fitment other than Harley Davidson models.

They're fine if all your riding is done down to the local Bike Night and back. On a road machine, I want something that I'll have half a chance of finding spares for if I get a flat ten states over.

One of my pet peeves with the later-model FLs - especially the Road Glides. I've ridden many model years of that bike and there's simply no reason to hang a skinny-a$$ed front wheel off the thing.
