Nobody makes a black flush mount axle.
140/70 on that front rim...but there are a couple other sizes that will work, too.

Metzeler site has a sizing page.

Check out FBI Baggers. I wasn't crazy about the customer service on some fork legs I purchased. . .

I looked at FBI's site like the other poster stated.
Apparently, they have black ones.
They'd be the only ones I know of.

Don't forget the axle cap that's shown right next to the axles.

that cracks me up. The axle is black but the caps arent. Who cares what color the axle is you cant even see it. Thats too funny. Not a bad price though, keeping in the theme of $100HD. Ill see about powdercoating the caps. Thanks for the link guys. Hey badpiggy, I see the other size tires that will fit that rim. Which ones will fit the bike? My question was kinda which tire will fill the fender without rubbing? Does the 140 fit well? 150 maybe too big and 130 too small? Im in afghanistan right now so I cant picture it on my bike and I dont know what size metzlers I have on it now. Im trying to buy this stuff here and have it waiting on me when I get back. Thanks for all the info

Oh hell...I can't help with an exact size.
I run 21" rims on both my bikes.

I'd email/call FBI.
Half that pic shows a black axle, chrome caps...the other half shows black caps mounted in the forks.

Shoot "Hogpro" a PM.
He can answer.

They have the black axle covers. Apparently, they chose not to update their website and only show the chrome end cap.
