I recently got a killer deal on a '09 Nightster around Christmas. A deal came up that I couldn't pass up a few days ago. I got a chance to buy a 2004 XL 1200R Sportster Roadster for $1500. Needs a lot of TLC and elbow grease. This will be a new project bike, my first build. I do not like the Mag wheels, but it has dual disc brakes. I wanted wire wheels much like my Nightster, but I want to keep the dual front breaks. Where can I find a wire wheel set and tires that will fit this bike? I wonder if a Sportster Custom wheel set would work with this? Any suggestions? I will periodically post pics as this progresses, work stats next week.

 

I can't think of any dual disc factory wires at the moment for a Sportster

 

The 05 XL 1200R had 19" Dual disc laced front wheel, that should work?

 

so it did:



bet those rims are hard to find

 

Thanks guys, I'm going to look into them. That helps a lot. I want to get them before the bike goes to paint. I also need 1inch stock height black risers and the stock battery cover. Couldn't find it in the HD parts catalog, I also don't want to pay the factory price. Other than eBay and Craig's List, where can I look? Does anyone have these to sell? Please help.

 

ebay is yer best bet for less than list
