Those wheels will look killer on your Train, I agree with going for a 3.5" rim and run a 120mm up front. Of course, you will then need a new front fender.

I like all of those. I plan on getting my factory HD wheels powder coated and some new stainless spokes. Will cost me about half of what a new set will cost.

Mine are from Landmark Manufacturing. Stock size up front with fat 40 spokes. 18 inch out back, stock width with fat 40 spokes.

I think the wheels you chose will look nice!

Talk to Coastal_Moto_Man (coastalmoto dot com). I was going the spoke route until I talked to him.

i have 2 bikes, doing fat spokes on both. just ordered a set of fat spokes from sinister for my 2005 heritage...www.sinisterwheel.com check the web page. go to the wheel designer and look at different combos. i ordered chrome rim, black spoke and hub, chrome nipples. I went with them because I was hearing too many DNA problems. Still considered them on my 2008 night train, emailed the same ebay company you put a link for. after email, 2 days before response. price was good, i emailed them to call me to discuss...that was Sunday night. Today Wednesday no call still or email reply. If you have a prolem, and need help...example powder coating flaking...will they respond? Never a problem with Sinister or Ride Wright.
Get what you pay for!

I have a reseller looking into buying me a set right now, but I was very particular on getting the right size wheels, bearings, and what spacers I needed. He's calling around to make sure I get everything I need. I'll let you all know how it goes, but it'll be like two weeks before I get them once ordered.

regards,

Dale

Now the age old tale of which tires to get, Avon vs Metzlers.... From researching old threads, they both seem very functional on dry and wet roads. I guess I have to see which ones look better.
