fat spokes

I just ordered my wheels from KC International. Mamoth 21x3.5 front, 16x3.5 rear, with matching rotors. I just got my vee rubber 120-70/21 ww. Sick tire. Bigger than I thought. (running heavy duty tubes in these wheels to prevent leaks that most have) I am running these on an 07 deluxe. A question I have is, i am hearing some negative on fit. Is the stock spacer width going to work with these wheels ? (Im going to run chrome spacers). Also I am going to get the pully powder coated gloss black to match the bike. Is the spacing on the pully going to work without ordering spacers?
I just hope this doesnt turn into a science project from all the issues i am hearing. Good price though

I dont know about them bro, but a bit of advice on the vee rubber a lot of cats said they are off white, so before i mounted it i went to foot locker and got some white sneaker paint and gave it a couple of go arounds they are whiter then ever and i havent had to paint them again since i just wash them like a regular white wall

thanks for the advise.

Is it a DNA pulley? If so you need a 9/16" pulley spacer that you can get from Vulcan works. IF it a stock pulley you should be fine.

I used the stock spacers (the chrome ones that came with my frontend) on my 06. i used the DNA super spoke pulley with a 1/2" spacer, but the 07s may be different.

I could be wrong on my measurement of the spacer. It has been a while. I thought it was 9/16". I remember that is what Harleyjoe03 used with his DNA's, but he has an 03.

you mind if i ask where you got it? Im in so cal also and need to find a supplier. Just wash the blue out with soapie water. But i would wait till you mount them because the blue stuff is so you dont scuff up the white wall during install.
