Should be '84-'99.

The spoke wheel haters will be here soon. Pay them no mind.

I saw a street glide today with a set of fat spoke ride right wheels. Black with chrome nipples. Man did they look great!

I would go with excile wheels if I were you. Not sure of the size but call them and I am sure they will hook you up. They are quite costly but well worth it

I have had three front wire wheels replaced under warranty in 21 months on the 2009 EGC because of vibrations. I got them because I liked the classic look of the wire. Looking back I wish I would have gotten the cast wheels.

I don't hate spoke wheels. My 07 SG had them stock. my front wheel was bent to HE77 when I replaced them with mags.

Plus, I got a flat once. No plugging a spoke tube. In my opinion spokes are cool, but not practical for me. I like to ride and be able to plug a flat. Just not a luxury I can afford.

I love my fat 50's. I sell ride Wrights at a discount every day to forum members, not just the fat 50's but everything they have. they can make wheels for your bike no problem. Have a look at their site and see if they have offerings you like, then pm or email me for pricing. My email is in the signature below.
