Wheel questiion
A quick question for those here in the know: what kind of HP/torque numbers are considered too much for the HD spoked wheels. I'm looking at the HQ 113" (HQB-113-ST)build for my "07 RKCbut want to be sure I won't be rampingup past what the wheel can handle. Thanks for your help and input.

RE: Wheel questiion
In my experiencea basically stock or mildlyengine puts out too much power. My spokes loosened quickly at 31k miles. I tightened them and trued the wheel. At 62k miles, right before a trip, I put the bike on a lift and checked them. All were tight. Less than too miles later, they loosened quickly. I ended up with a ruined hub. My indy buddy said he sees alot of loose spokes on late model bikes andblames it on two things:
1.) Cheap spokes.
2.) The fact that the TC puts out the most power of any HD Big Twin to date.
At any rate, I said enough and bolted on a 1200C rear wheel.
