Default 96 road king
Well been a few months.......putting a 96 road king back together with my ole ultra evo motor. Anybody know who makes a 120 spoke 3.50 x 16 chrome rear wheel....this one took a beating...looking around only see 40s and fat or twisted spoke. Get pictures up later...... i guess i could go 80 spoke but want a beefy wheel.....

I believe I have diamond spoke 80s I pulled off my old RK. I can't remember the brand. They are nice.

I have no clue on that one, I wouldn't want to clean 120 spokes, 40 is bad enough lol

Not thinking i want to go custom.....hell its a bagger probably could just hide a cast wheel under there. But this was a high dollar build back in the day...kinda wanted front and rear matching. Keep looking.....motor thing just got out of hand ....now a big one.....

Please God ... stick a solid Fatboy wheel in there and forget about it. No one can because of the hardbags anyway.

Life is too short to bang your knuckles cleaning so many spokes.
