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.

Thats kind of where i am at..I Hate to spend that kind of money on wheels if I can run one of the ultima wheels safely on my Crossbones. I am going to have to dig into this and see what i can figure out

The main problem I have with the Ultima's is that there is no specific info on them, just that they fit 1986-1999 models. They provide no info on which model or anything like that. Definitely made overseas.

Sounds like people are interested. Might even be enough to get Ride Wright to lower their prices, or do a Christmas sale..... or something to make them more affordable to potential buyers.

Many thanks for all the kudo's guys. I really am happy with this wheel. I have been riding the crap out of the bike since I installed it!!! I am working on picking something for the back, but thats another hair puller for sure. I just ordered a new 130/90-16 rear tire from bikebandit.com as they have a big sale. It will be here in a few days. The reason I ordered the tire is to help me pick a rear rim. At least now I KNOW it will be a 16 inch'er.
