Default Gawd damn is this difficult



And it shouldn't be, but it is. I have a 2015 Heritage that I've made my own (like it or not) . Time for new wheels. I want aftermarket spoke wheels. I've looked all over the interweb, Harley dealers and custom shops in Denver. There's hundreds of wheels offered but I just cannot find that custom spoke wheel.

I'm on a budget but I'm not cheap *** penny saver. Help me out bros, I have one chance to get this right the first time. I want to keep the same size wheels/tires. So lets have it. Whats my options?

Here's what I'm working with.

Much appreciated

Check out here, choose the 16" *3.5" https://www.demonscycle.com/collecti...2%20x%203.5%22 this should give you some ideas as to how you want them to look.

Thank you for the link. I've never seen that website. They have the wheels that I want at an excellent price but their sold out. I did send them an email asking when they will be available.

Really nice looking bike. What brand fairing is that you have, I’m in the process of looking for one for my Heritage?
Thanks

OK, i really like those Mammoth 52's. Front and rear wheels 1821.00 which is reasonable. Couple questions....since I have hard bags you really cannot see the pulley or rotor. Would you agree I probably shouldn't replace those parts?
DNA quality. I hear it hit or miss. I only want to do this one time only. Any issues with your wheels?

Thanks for your time.

That's an awful lot more then I paid, but perhaps it's the year of the bike and what you need as apposed to what I did. Mine we're a just under $1000. If you scroll up in this section you'll see them. I opted for the rear pully only because I just did new 10 button chrome EBC rotors and brakes last year. My goal is to only run the bags when I need them, road trips ect. Going stripped, just the new fairing, no back seat, sissybar or bags. Fit and finish was top notch on mine, I've heard complaints but I think they may have been the older years.

Take a look at Ride Wrights and compare prices, they were a little more then what I wanted to spend but may be worth the look for you. https://ridewrightwheels.com/
