Just ordered a '23 Softail Standard (Wire Wheel options etc)
Hi All,
After being off a bike for about 5 years (my last bike was a '12 iron 883 i put nearly 20k miles on). I was wondering what everyone paid out the door? My OTD figure was around $18,5k. Also, I don't like the mag wheels they put on the new ones - i much prefer the look of the wire/spokes they had on the '20/'21 model - Does anyone have a recommendation on tubeless wire wheels ? I know the twin cams supposedly had some issues with the timing chain tensioner - any such issues on the M8 ? Did they resolve the machining issues causing some bikes to have a bunch of metal left in the engine? Can I track my order other than calling and asking the dealer ?

Chain tensioner issue on TCs was resolved in 2007.

I run tubeless 18" and 21' wire spoke rims on my Deluxe. They are not hard to find.
