Default Ultima king spokes

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 ran one of Jirehs King Spokes on my Dyna build. Never had an issue. Not the bestest shinyest wheel ever, but it looked good.

Are you looking at fat spokes or traditional spokes? You can get 21x3.5 40,60, or 80 traditional spoke rim for around $350.

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.
