Plus it took 2 months to get my core deposit back. I hope you have better luck!
Hi macj, just received my chrome rocker wheels, shipped em thru USPS and it took 11 days door to door. I looked at them quickly and the pulley was really nice. The Harley service advisor looked at the wheels and was very impressed. He said they were comparible to the chromer we use here in Toronto. They should be installed by Monday the latest so here's hoping to NO hairline cracks and air leaks.

Will keep ya posted, and btw they look hot. Will post pics once I get the bike back, here's hoping to better weather.

Hi macj, I'm only waitng for my Harley dealer to install my chrome rear axle adjuster hardware. I ordered it yesterday and it should have been received and installed by the dealer today, then a quick test run and the bike is mine. I also had them install 5 star rotors from KC International and all the chrome hardware. Quickly looked at the bike today and WOW, holy chrome. Can't wait for it to be washed up, polished and ready to ride.
The wheels were holding air, so no problem in the leak department.

Will post pics once the weather breaks and looking forward to the first ride.

Didn't see anything on the Paul Yaffe site regarding this wheel or a 21" wheel. I like it!

Wheel looks good
