This should fix my front wheel problem
It turns out that the front wheel i bought 4 months ago is actually the wrong wheel. I was supposed to have special ordered the wheels. I actually bought the wheel from a web site called Motosport.com, they actually lied to me and told me it would fit my bike. I called them today and forced them to take the wheel back after they told me that they were trying to get rid of all their HD inventory because they were going to stop selling parts for HD.
Anyway, after getting that squared away and returning the wheel I called Arlen Ness. I ordered the wheel (specifically made to fit the Rocker's front end). Waiting on the tech to call me back and let me know how long it's going to take. Hopefully it won't be too long, the guy told me that they have built wheels for the Rocker before so it can definitely be done.
This should be it fellers. I think I got it this time lol lol.
By the way, stay away from Motosport.com if you are looking to buy HD parts. THey'll tell you it fits your bike just to get you to buy the part.

Glad to see you worked it out waiting for parts is hard but getting a wrong one boarders on cruel and unusual .
Sorry to here Motosport failed you.
I have had about four or five transactions with them with out issue.
They always seemed to have the best price.
The dive in the economy seems to be affecting allot of part suppliers and there level of service.
Hope you get your new wheel soon good luck.

i'm glad I was able to get Motosport to take the wheel back. it is sad that they would lie like that just to get the sale, but oh well.
like some of you guys said, i'm just glad i'm able to resolve this issue before riding season come around. the really bad part is that the new wheel is costing me 1300 bucks. oh, well, like some of us say, the price of cool aint cheap.

Just be glad right now it's not summer. I have found that sometimes deals are not really deals. I would rather pay more than to get jerked around. We all get bagged at times, just glad you got it worked out.
