Softail Deluxe Wheels
Hey all,
I been throwing around the idea of wheels on my 08 Deluxe, but I can't seem to figure out what I want. What I seem to be finding is there are not alot of options for the Deluxe. Now it could be my lack of knowledge, but who are the best manufacturers for wheels?
And as a side ? for those with the 21" front wheel, outside of looks, what made you go that direction? And are there any differences in ride/control?

I went with sinister. Im glad I did. I stayed with 16". The 21" looks great but I like the fat front tire look. If I ever went bigger it would be 18". The sinisters are expensive. There are lots of wheels that will fit your deluxe. Ride wright, and DNA to name a couple. Also check out Hogpro.

If I could have any wheels, these would be my pick
Hogpro matrix
Primo Cali wheel
Sinister billet daddy
Wish I saved the extra $$$$ for the hogpros instead of fat spokes (nothing wrong with fat spokes just like others better)
I went for 21" and 18" in back for looks. Ride quality is the same

I have also looked at the fat spoke, but dread the idea of trying to clean them!
I have also had my eye on the HogPro Matrix.
Any idea how much I have to stash in my hidden cookie jar for a set of those?

Fat spokes are easy to clean.......
My wheels take me about 15 mins to do both including the whitewall tyres.
