I was told (by the preivous owner) that the reason the bike does Not have the matching spoke wheel on the rear, is because the bike makes too much power / torque! He bought a new set of wheels, but when the shop was doing all of the work (new S&S 124, Baker 6-speed OD tranny, Rinehart TD's, etc..) that since the bike makes 131 RWHP & 153 TQ, they did not recommend putting a spoke wheel on the back! Now, since I have the bags on my RK, you don't really see much of the rear wheel. But since I don't plan on doing any wheelies, do you think I can put a spoke on the rear? The front has an 80 spoke now and I would think an 80 spoke rear, should be ok, no? If not, maybe I'll look at getting a nice set of chrome after-market wheels? I like the spoke look and it will cost alot less, if I just have to buy the rear, vs a new Set of wheels!
