Default Deluxe wheels on a Switchback (Pic Added)
Bike's getting new shoes today! Love the Switchback, but I never felt the wheels looked right for the bike. I wanted a classic look so I picked up a set of Deluxe wheels and they are going on today! So far the rear spacers need to be swapped and the front rotor from the deluxe wheel is too small so you can use a Touring rotor or a Dyna 06+ from a spoked rim. I should have pics in the AM!

Sorry for the horrible quality. That's as the shop sent it to me. I'll get better ones in the AM.

And yes I know the whitewalls needs to be cleaned. Let me know what you think!

+1 Nostalgic. I had considered a Switchback, but didn't care for the wheels. Now everyone will be asking you why you took the spot lights off your Heritage.

Shoot me a pm Aces. And thanks on the nostalgic comments because that is exactly what I was going for! I want the end result to be a Duo Glide, street rod style.

Man, I wanted them for my Bob, but after research it turned out to be more trouble and $$ than it's worth

From what I've found out with my swap is as long as you have the right size axle, 25mm, then it comes down to spacers. You usually end up using the axle off your bike with the right spacers to center the wheel. Any Dyna with a 25mm axle shouldn't have to much trouble.

CJ shoot me a PM.
