Default Customized Nightster in Burly magazine ads???
Does anyone know who builds the 10 spoke wheel on the front of the sportster in the new Burly magazine ads? I'm talking about the one with the hot chick and the plaid looking paint. It's the last two issues of Hot Bike. The wheel looks like an old Halibrand wheel and I'm looking for a set. Here's a link with some pics. It's about 1/4 of the way down and labeled Burly Sportster.

I think I saw that bike parked in front of progressive suspension a few weeks ago when they rebuilt my sons wide glide shocks for free. You might contact them and ask where they're from.

Progressive owns Burly. Matter of fact I do believe that the Burly building is right next door to Progressive. If my memory serves correctly. I saw it on the the Progressive website.

I love the rootbeer Triumph and the chicks sportster. I have no idea what that dude flexing with the long blonde hair and that purple circus outfit is trying to accomplish but his bike is a bit too much for my taste. But I guess he likes it.

It almost looks like a stock HD wheel off an older sportster.

Looks like a stock 12 spoke Sportster or FXR/Dyna wheel to me.

Yeah it isn't. It's a 21 with round spokes.

Yep, I didn't look close enough. That definitely looks like a 21". No idea what it is then.

PMI used to make a wheel like that. Don't know if they still do or not.
