80Spoke HD or Custom???
I have a 2000 Heritage with the stock chrome spokes... [/align][/align]Picked up a pair of 80 Spoke wheels, but the dealer wants 4hrs to mount/dismount and change bearing size...[/align][/align]How much are these rims worth on the open market (they are new) .. Thinking of selling and getting a billit rim (any suggestions??) as I heard the more spoke the more of a pia they are to clean..[/align][/align]Thx!!!![/align]

Zanotti's has them for $516 each (16" plus shipping) Chicago HD is $559 each. I guess the price ends up being whatever the market will bear, but if they are new and haven't had tires mounted, I would think you ought to be able to get at least 80%?

I've got the H.D. 80's. 2hr labor. I like 'em. Ride in salt, misc. crap and no pitting/rusting. Cleaning is a pain. But they look awesome. Don't take a loss. Keep 'em. j.m.o.

If you have the resources to jack up your own bike and remove the wheels yourself, you'll save a lot of bread. Forget the a-hole dealer, man. He'll shred you. Go to local aftermarket shop w/ a good rep. BTW, are there bearings already set up? That is a little time consuming setting the end play. Good luck. 80 spokers rock.

Yup. Pull off and put on, balance. I now clean 'em with a powerball. The little one. I use it wet and soapy to clean. Then rinse and spin out excess water and put a little wax on and go to town. The time consuming part is taking wax off. Strips of old T's in between. Oh yeah, rainy day a must.
