RE: Chrome Nine-Spoke Cast Wheel
I have them on my '08 and I really like them. I got the front one first and then was number 172 on the backorder list for the rear. Finally got it last week. I think they will be much easier to keep clean than the stock wheels.
I also bought the chrome floating rotors for the front. Unfortunately, the '08 rotors are so big that not much of the wheel shows.
Sorry, no pictures yet.

I believe the difference between 99-00 is the fact that the 99's are 3/4 inch axels and the 00 is 1' axels so new bearing pressed it would be my only guess as to the difference

RE: Chrome Nine-Spoke Cast Wheel
I think you are right, but I don't know you right. I'd really like a parts guy or a mechanic to verify what we think. I'd hate to buy them and find out the holes for the rotors are different cause the calipers are different, or something like that.
You got to wonder, if it's just the bearing sizes, why don't they show them for the 99' and earlier touring bikes with different part #'s and different sized bearings already pressed in.

I ordered these.

Where can I get a matching set of chrome rotors?

RE: Chrome Nine-Spoke Cast Wheel
I put them on my 98 FLHRCI. I bought the 3/4 bearings and spacers used on the \\;2000 (they were 3/4 then) and pressed them in and \\;bought chrome floating rotors too. I bought a used \\;2000 rotor for the rear brake. \\;I machined new spacers for the front wheel. The rear wheel was harder to complete. I machined a spacer to fit between the rear rotor and the hub to properly center the rotor in the caliper, because the \\;2000 nine \\;spoke hub is .780 narrower than the old wheel, and also machined a new spacer for the left end of the rear axle. I machined the pulley ID also because mine has the wider drive belt and the ID was too small for the newer hub. It looks fantastic, easier to keep clean too. Sorry, no picture, but I can email for those who want one.
