Harley had similar styled "Profile" wire wheels available a few years ago. Don't seem to be available any longer through MoCo.

The "profile" wheel offered by HD is a 40 spoke wheel, the ones shown by WKNDS are ( I think ) a 60 spoke.
Lovely tight spoke pattern too.
Do they have an alloy rim, like the HD factory Profile rims?
Who made those T?

Correct - 60spoke.

Those shown above are from HD Wheels.
Apollo SL (18 rear & 19 front) with S-cross lacing, 60 spokes, aluminum brush barrel, black spokes, black hub centers.

Bought this on Christmas Eve! I will get her after the 1st of the Year. Traded in my Sporty. The new bike is having a few things added for long distance rides - detachable saddlebags and windshield. Also, having it lowered 1.5" to make it better for me to reach the ground.

Cannot wait to get my first ride in soon!

Congrats again.
Looks like you bought it at HD of Dallas - which is actually up the
road in Allen.

Yes that is correct! We go to all the different ones for functions and such. This bike happened to be at the HD Allen location.

Thanks!

Interesting, I never 'hang out' at the dealers. I usually ride to Westminster,
Loose Wheels, Loco Coyote, or sometimes even Strokers every once
in awhile... Maybe I'll see you out & about when you get the new ride.

We go all over too. I have been a passenger most of the time. Just got my license so still new at it.
Each of the shops have different clothing or accessories that I like to look around at in the stores. Corinth, Bedford and Allen are the ones we end up at the most.
We are doing a group ride soon too.
Safe riding!
