Default Changing the wheels

Well, I am waiting for my new wheels to be mounted and balanced at the harley dealer. In the meantime I snapped a few pictures of my heritage, sans wheels. It looks more like a deluxe, but hey what can you do?

I ordered DNA fatspokes and tires 21" front 18" rear and a set of floating rotors. I know some folks were told there HD dealer wouldn't mount tires that weren't purchased there. Mine gave me no issues, which is cool.

What type of grease should I use when I reinstall the axles?

Thanks all.


I will hopefully post up pictures of a nicely finished product. Hopefully they will be ready tomorrow and I can get them back on while I am off for the Columbus day holiday.

Cool, I have a set of 18" DNA Fatspokes waiting for a set of tires. Let me know how the install goes, I'm debating having them mounted and balanced and reinstalling myself, or just dropping it off at that shop and picking it up finished.
