what are the chances of making one of these work on my crossbones? Spacers/Bearing?

Anyone know if they have a 21x3.0?

 

bikerlaw, not to high jack your thread, but I thought instead of starting a new one, I'd ask here if you or anyone else has any input on the Ultima King (I think that's right) fat 48 spoke wheels?

The Ride Wrights are not an option right now with all the other upgrades I want to do so I'm looking at the DNA or Ultima Kings I just ran across today.

 

asg13, in my searches I have seen 21x3s. I'm not sure about the fitment on your bones though, sorry.

 

The Ultima King spokes are only made for 1986-1999 bikes right now. My Midwest rep does not know when they will be available for newer bikes. I ask every time I talk to him. For me it's Ride Wrights, but to each their own. At this time of the year everyone has a lot of expenses with Christmas and such.

It took me years to get fat spokes and everything else I wanted on my ride. In fact 6 years and still going.

i was told, not sure though, if u can get them for a 3/4 axle, it should just be a spacing issue with a Crossbones or any springer for that matter.

Anyone confirm this?

 

The bearings on pre 2000 models are timken open bearings which need a wider spacer so I am sure it could be done. I'd rather buy a wheel with sealed bearings made to fit on my bike.

This thread IS about the Ultima King Spokes. The pictures bikerlaw posted are of the King Spoke wheel ... that has 48 fat spokes.

 

Drew, thanks for the information! I didn't see anything in the information I was reading that indicated the Ultimas were year specific, so again, thanks. I'm a long way from convincing myself to get off of 2Gs or more for RWs, when I have plenty else to do for now. LOL

But if the Ultima or DNAs were able to serve my purpose until I run out of everything else to do and I just felt compelled to spend that kind of money, one day I may splurge for RWs.

 

Dumb **** me! Damn noobs man, can't even teach'em with pictures anymore. lol

Thanks, Rich

 

Gree that we does loves our chromies..
but iffin i did change out I'd for sure do some black rims and hubs with the spokes blingy.

least we got the 3rd hat in the ring.
