Dr. V-Twin, could you please tell your bud there that I want some of his X Pipes for my Rocker and he needs to get on that pronto... If he is willing to comply to this demand I will be sure to place my order for them through you, especially at your discounted pricing, cause I do like deals, lol...

I think a chrome factory style 21" would look excellant on the front and would probably be interested in upgrading too if I hadn't jumped the gun and bought new dunlops including the mm90/19 front, only for the bike to arrive with a very nice set of metzellers already on it, the front being a 100/90/19... ****...

Recsue7, I'm interested to know how long you have been waiting for your wheels? I bought a set of chrome wheels from them and got the wheels right away, but one had a hairline crack and leaked air so i sent it back and its been 2.5 months and i still haven't got it back yet! Plus it took 2 months to get my core deposit back. I hope you have better luck!

I have heard that Yaffe's stuff takes forever too.

majc thanks for the heads up. I ordered my chrome Rocker wheels Jan 5th, they wanted $800 deposit so I let them charge me. They were promised by Jan 25th, saying they had plenty of people ordering so I decided on being put on waiting list. If by Monday the 8th my order isn't shipped then I will cancel and have a local chrome shop plate my original wheels. Last conversation I had was Friday the 5th was the expected date of shipping.

As far as getting a security deposit refunded I will see if I actually take delivery of the wheels, if i do then I will be hounding them on an hourly basis.

I feel for you getting a wheel with a hairline crack, i will mention thuis to Jay the manager and have him e-mail me a copy of the guarantee. I also paid via AMEX so I will dispute any charge that doesn't get looked at immediately.

Here is a link for a chrome parts supplier located in Dayton Ohio, I took delivery of the 5 star floating rotors and they are top notch.

In the January American Cycle Magazine they have an article on a Paul Yaffe build for Bones & Tails (picture below). The bike has a 23" front wheel and it appears to have the same look as the Rocker 19" wheel (The triple trees have a 5 degree rake in them). Didn't see anything on the Paul Yaffe site regarding this wheel or a 21" wheel. I like it!

Well guys after his original email yaffe hasn't answered any of my follow ups reguarding the 21" he has, so I guess the waiting game begins. The 23" I think is way to big but the 21" should be KILLER! I will keep you guys posted.
