Default Road King Spoke Rims

All, I'm thinking about swapping out the spokes on the wife's RK for something different. Do the wheels have any value to sell and offset the cost?

They are worth exactly what the next man will pay for them.
Sure, get the word out , be patient, they will sell.
I saw where a dude in Massachusetts is selling snow!

If they are in excellant shape and your asking price is realistic,they will sell.Remember,shipping is not cheap so the buyer will take that into account on your asking price.

I have bought a few wheels off Ebay, but only bought them without a tyre, partly to reduce shipping costs, but also as I will fit a new tyre of my choice.

Sold the wheels and tires off my 06 RKC three years ago. I got $500. The tires were new though (about 1200 miles on them).

You may be better off keeping them. If you sell the bike later, put them back on and sell the others for possibly more.
