Default 2010 FLHX Wheels

Has anyone been told that the all chrome HD agitator wheels are dangerous on Street Glides. I have them on my bike, dealer just called and offered to replace them says HD does not recommend but does not know why other than they may cause handling issues on batwing fairing bikes. What is HD talking about? thanks,

yes. I had 2 dealers tell me that and was also told by Harley tech when I called them myself. It only applys to the mirror chrome wheels on a street glide. Don't know why a little extra weight from the chrome process would do anything. But yes, it is a true statement. If it actually effects anything is beyond me.

I would want a detailed explanation. Sound kind of fishy to me.
