Doing A build on a budget for my brother coming home after his 3rd tour. surprising him with a 01' fatboy that I found that was dumped. almost done besides a few things. He's been seding me pics of bikes with 21'' front wheels. billet and spokes. Since this is a "budget" build because i'm broke because of a new baby girl, but still hell bent on getting this done for my brother. Anyone have any thought on the Ultima king spoke wheel? they come in a 1'' bearing, obviiosly i eoulf have to swap out to 3/4 bearings/sleeves etc. but has anyone had issues with the wheel,I can get w rim for around 275$. thought and leads are appreciated

I'm running their 21" on my 2000 Fatboy. I have nothing bad to say about the wheel. I've had it on for two seasons now and it's held up very well. I even bought the 16" for the rear. Besides being a PIA to clean between the spokes, for the price you'll give for one you can't hardly go wrong.
i bought mine for an 88-99 bike so i believe it has the 3/4 bearing. i was going to buy the 1' wheel and use spacers but i found the correct wheel my bike is a 91
I know nothing about how good they work or how easy they are to install. All I can say is I have wanted them for my Heritage for quite awhile. They look great.
