Are the RWs tubeless? I know the DNAs are and that would be a definite plus for me if I were to ever get spoked wheels...

Ride Wrights are made in the USA. DNA are made in China. That means a lot to many of us.

as bikerlaw says, it IS fact, but little known (or maybe known now, i'Ve been gone for a while), that DNA is made in China. period. Doesn't matter what the label reads. Trickery is king now my friends. However, I don't think that they are terrible, just not made in the States.

He lost $2000 on his mods once you caculate the payment. Is it a loss YES.....but its not a total loss. I told him to get the Softail from the beginning but he didnt want to spend the extra $2,500. There is an old saying in Russian. An idiot pays twice. And he biffed my 38 year old a$$ upside the back of the head last night after I said that to him. Kind of like Tony Dinoza get if anyone watches NCIS. ONLY HARDER LOL LOL.
