Be a great looking mod. Never like cleaning the stock ones on my last 09 Ultra.

Thanks guys, I went and ordered an exchange set from a plating company listed on E-Bay. I will let you know how everything turns out. My bike has ABS, so I’m going to have them install the bearings for me. Now if only I can keep my wife from finding out I bought them!

I did mine very soon after I purchased the bike back in 06. Makes a world of difference on the bike!

The name of the company is Ricks Plating and is located in California. You can email him at ricksplating@yahoo.com He has an eBay store. I won’t be able to recommend him until I receive the wheels, but he has a high rating at eBay. As for the bearings, its about a $100.00 for the bearings, sleeves, and installation.

I bought a rear brake caliper off them for my bike and it looks great.

I received my wheels from Ricks plating and have to say I love them. The service was excellent and only took a day to get them in the mail.
