Default Wheel ideas
I have an 06 Night train that I bent the wheel the other day on. I would like to keep the spokes on it, but was looking for some ideas and opinions for a different size. What does anyone out there have and what do they think about it?

Yeah.... Knowing which wheel would probably be nice. It was the front. And I did it on the road. There was a large chunk of pavement out of my lane and I hit it about 70 mph.

That is what you get for buying a POS Harley. How many parts fell off when you hit the hole?

Actually I did alright. Nothing else fell off, and the thing is rideable. It just has a lump in it at slow speeds. Oh yeah. It's a 21' x 2.15'

Get a stocker off ebay and paint the spokes black (see below)... cheaper than HDWheels, allthough they have some sweet stuff!
