Default Night Train rear wheel !

Anyone know if an 18 inch rear wheel will fit on the 2009 Train ?? I know I would have to get a new tire but that is fine ! Ride Wright does not offer a 17 inch which is the stock size so I thought maybe an 18 would work.

Cheers

yes a 18 x 5.5 will work. I think black bike makes a 18 x 7 that fits as well.

Default Thanks !!

Thanks for the feedback folks....Ride Wright are kind of my fall back choice.....I " really " want to put some BST Carbon Fibre wheels on the Train just to be really different but am having a hard time finding out if they fit ! BST makes some wheels to fit the V- Rod but not sure if they will bolt to the Train !!

Cheers

A 18x5.5 will fit just fine. Want one someday too.
