Sharpe ride. I have 52 spoke rims from DNA and they are awesome, except for cleaning. But thats what you sign up for I guess.

Good luck with decision!

 

Thanks! Im a fan of your bike love the color and what you've done with it. I've thought about DNA but to be truthful Im kinda scared if I'll get good ones or not. Seems 50/50 with quality from them.


When it comes to wheels Im lost. I'd like to go with a 21x3.5 front and 18x3.5 rear. Im not sure where to order from, if I'll need new rotors & pulley, spacers etc.

 

Hey jgos, These are nice wheels and would look great on a deluxe.

Thanks! My DNA wheel quality on both the RKC and the Deluxe is fine though I know some others have had issues. Ordered mine from Mototeks.com, no issues.

Rotors and pulley aren't "required" but new rotors will set off the front in terms of looks and since changing wheels is mostly about that, that's what I did. Pulley will work just fine on 18" rear wheel though you'll be sitting a little higher and may want to change shocks if you go to 18" wheel to get a little lower. Maybe not, up to you.

You may need custom spacers depending on what wheels you get and who assembles them if they have spokes. I had to have custom stainless steel spacers up front and in rear. Make sure this is done right. If you have the skill and contacts to get these, great. If not, have a pro do it. Your wheels are what's keeping you upright. I needed a pro...

I went with 21x3.5 as the extra width on the front seems more stable in turns and then you can get a 120/70/21 tire as well. Also lowered the front 1.5" with Progressive Monotubes.

In rear I just stayed with 16" as I wanted to use my stock rear tire. I have SS air suspension on the Dlx so plenty of adjustability for it overall.

Hope this helps!

 

Nice prices over at Mototek. Have a 2" lowering kit for the rear and 2" springs for the front so I should be able to get it back down. Shotgun shock will be a future purchase for sure

 

Seriously digging the new saddle.

 

What type of seat is this? It is awesome, really sharp!
