Ok she was playing chicken ( for no apparent reason ) with a fire hydrant and lost. We need to fix it. She wants fat spoke 21" rim, but not the skinny and not the stock 130/90/. For starters I can't get a clear answer on HUB to buy. It's a 1200 custom XLC A sportster. Looking for expert info and direction to put on my bench b4 pulling the trigger. I'm really new at this but pretty good at turning a hex and following direction. Someone said this is the best place to start. Dislikes and whys are welcomed in between solid info. Thanks in advance


Save some corners for us...

 

Pictures of the damage?

 

No pics. But we have stock front forks common in. But she wants the different wheels as mentioned in previous post. Stock Front forks replacement pretty straight forward. But with the new mid glide the hub has me stumped

 

I am no expert but bought a wreck one time and fixed it. Make sure the bike frame is not bent/twisted right or left, which can induce an uncontrollable wobble at higher speeds. You can determine this by securing a straight edge to the rear wheel (assuming it is straight) that is long enough to reach the front wheel, measure the distance from straight edge to front wheel (assuming the front wheel and forks are straight), then do the same on the other side, they should measure the same. If they do not, let me know and I will try to explain how to straighten.
