Hey Guys,

I want mag wheels for my '08 Street Bob, but dont want to spend 2-3k just for the look. So, I've thought, what about stock wheels from other HD's? Maybe V-Rod? Preferrably some with black. Also, I dont want to have to rework hubs. Any ideas?

 

how about a set of low rider take-offs? they got black accents and I think they should be a straight swap if they are 07 and newer (they went to a 25mm axle from the 1" in 07 I think)

 

My '07 has 1" bearings the change to 25mm in the Dyna line was in '08.

Here's a V Rod set up on a Dyna.

 

How about a set of lowrider or fxd stock takeoff mags? Get some from a model year that uses the same size everything as yours. You could get them powdercoated or chromed if you want. I have some fxd mags at the chromes right now (STILL - erg!). I bought them for $200 and getting them chromed for $550. Selling my spokes for $100 so I'm getting new (to me) chrome wheels for $650 net. Of course that doesn't include all the other chrome crap I'm putting on to match (rotors, spacers, etc.) but I'd have to buy those even if I were spending a couple grand on the wheels.

This is what they will look like when I get them back.

 

I bought an '05 Dyna HD Wagon Wheel on Ebay for $283. I had to space the axle and breaks. As far as the rear, I bought a Duece type wheel with a 1" axle from Surdykes for $700.

BTW..... And anyone correct me if I am wrong, 25mm equals .9843 inches. So if you get a earlier rim with a 1" axle, you won't be able to use the 25mm axle, but a 1" axle should fit your swing arm. It would just be an addition cost.

Good Luck!

 

Forum member "porker" has them on his Low Rider, and they look nice!

Yep, seeing them on Porker's bike is what sold me on it.

 

I stand corrected - thanks
