Guys you gotta explain this a little bit more. We had some trouble with the front wheel, because the wheel was a little off from the middle. They had to take of a half inch to get it centered. And there are tubes in the tire. Maybe this helps.



And yes the salad bowl is gonna go, but they forget to take it of before they took the wheel in.

The speedo that is in is also a stock HD speedo, only a different one. There where no troubles with it.

Yep that was a given on mine...new spacers.... We are referring to your tube set-up... Now that i see a close-up of yours it looks like you found a tubestem/tube to fit. Where if so? Mine had to be drilled to fit a normal sized tube.

Soo did i get a unique set or what? ...lol... I've talked to a few guys on this forum and they had told me they had to drill out the wheel also. As so did i....hmmmm. I spent a day calling and calling and nobody had a tube with that small of a valve stem opening.... Even my local dealer (Gail's HD of KC) was scratching their heads..... strange!!!I'm curious to know where he got that tube at. I do know for a fact that there is a sizing difference (DNA) between the 21" and the 16" valve stem opening. As i've seen this with my own two eyes.

I specially drove to bike-builder with your question. He was amazed because he told it was an normal HD tube. He didn't do any modification on the rim. Only thing I can think of that we have a different valve stem size over here in Europe????
