Has anyone seen these wheels on a stock bike. I was told these were an option on this numbers matching Superglide I bought. I seen 1 rim for sale on ebay in several months but havn't seen them on any other bike. thanks.

Not stock Harley...[for a Shovelhead] Aftermarket, like Lesters??
The Company offered the Morris 7 Spoke Mag, not sure that early tho..Not to be confused with Lester 7 spoke Mags, which look a Bit like H-D 7 spokers, but were only OE on??? IDK...Maybe Kawasaki??

I have the 74 Accessory Catalog. No mags listed as options. Think mags were first offered on FX series in 1977.
Me too, certainly on the Sportsters on the 1977 XLCR.
and They were Morris 7 spokers..IDK when 9 spoker came about, after '80 I thought. But, I know that the '79 FLH had "turbine" [like 12 spokes] wheels...so...I'm confusing myself now..
Those wheels may well be MoCo stuff...But, I don't recognize them so gotta be late 90's or so...
Those were an aftermarket offering by Daytona targeting mainly bigger imports but they did sling a few out for early FX shovels and sporties that used the early pie slice front caliper & rotors, do an enlargement and check the name on the side the 19", " Henry Abe" that's the tell. They weren't around very long if I remember right.
Just for info's sake, the first "mag" style wheels offered on a factory Harley Davidson came out in 1979 on the all new 1980 rubber engine mounted 5 speed FLT touring bike.

16" 12 Spokes. yes...the 7 spokers were certainly on the 1977 XLCR Sportster...
Easy to research.

Not sure if this statement is entirely accurate? My '78 FXS has the original mag wheels - or so I think?
