Well what a fiasco it was dealing with Southern Machine Wheels. First off, Randy did come through but it took almost 6 weeks. Received my order and the front wheel had many scratches around the wheel. It took 3 weeks to receive my new wheel. When I received my front wheel, it was missing the matching front rotor. Ok, that took another 2 weeks to receive. Well when installing the wheel, it was 1.5’’ to short. It turns out they installed the wrong hub. Well another 5 days passes and I received the proper hub and swapped it out. Now it fits like a glove.
Randy the owner came through but their quality control needs to improve in my view. These screwups cost me about 100.00 extra having Harley Davidson dealer swap out the hub. I had new tires installed and they also installed the matching rotor.
I’m going on a 10 day ride and wanted to go tumbles incase I got a flat on this trip. Now I’m able to plug my tire if needed.
would I recommend Southern Machine Wheels, yes but make sure Randy inspects your order before shipping.
Yes, they are 16x3.5 , stock wheels are 16x3, these are .5’’ wider. I did purchase matching front floating rotor, rear is stock, can’t really see it with bags on.
