77 FX wheel set
Does anyone know what wheel set would have been offered on a 77 FX super glide? Would it have been all chrome spoke or the 13 spoke/9 spoke mags or a combo of both?

I guess I always thought that Mags on FXS and Spokes on FXE... But... that would be like Believing Spokes on FXR and Mags on FXRS..
Nothing is Cast in Stone...
Like I did Not know the 7 Spoke went nearly that Late... as I never seen them, that Late...
I do Note, that the 9 spoke was the Mag by 1979... and I thought by 1977...

Don't imagine most folks who bought a new FX/E model would automatically upgrade to a more expensive mag rim over the stock spoked rims. The spoked rims were easy to manufacture and the spokes were just zinc plated, so not a lot of expense.
There are a couple of peope on the flea selling new never mounted front mags for 77 earlier models. Seen a few of the rear, but only used and pretty worn out and fugly looking.
Been keeping my eyes peeled for a nice set for my 78 FXE. Found a nice set a few weeks back but the guy would not ship to Californai because he said it was too expensive (even tho I was the one that would be paying fpr the shipping).
