RE: Looking for a solid rear wheel for Road King Classic
If you want a completely solid wheel, why not use the Fat Boy wheel? The SG or RKC wheel still has slots in them. I personally don't like solid wheels. They suck in heavy cross wind.

Looking to buy a solid rear wheel 16" that fits 1" axle on my Road King Classic. I think the street glide and road king custom wheel will fit ok.
RE: Looking for a solid rear wheel for Road King Classic
Well I guess my post was misleading. The slotted wheel is what I am looking for. I currently have spokes. By solid wheel I meant non-spoke. I agree with you that the solid fat boy wheel could be a problem in a crosswind.
RE: Looking for a solid rear wheel for Road King Classic
I have no problem with cross wind with my stock RK customs slotted wheels. And I dooubt those little slots make any difference over the solid fat boy wheels.
