I just bought one on Ebay, they are readily available new. Any big twin tapered roller bearing wheel should fit, although you will have to find some way of covering the flange for the second rotor, or fit twin calipers!

I'm running a 16" front wheel and my ratio is 2240:60.

My bike came with 16" evo bagger mags on it, i swapped a 21" spoke on it, just had to get different spacers. Speedo isn't an issue since I don't have one hooked up.

Lang do you have the wideglide style front end ? if so do you any pics of the bike with the 16 in mag up front?
