If you want great service and top quality, I think ride wright and Dr V Twin is the way to go.
However......if you want a more "disposable" priced fat spoke check out DNA. Service is slow and bad, but the price is right in the case you have to chuck one from flattening it (or need to get it relaced, probably could be done locally once you had the hub and everything).

I'm definately happy with the price of the ride wright from Dr. V-Twin! I realize i could've got some dna fat spoke wheels quite a bit cheaper....but i'm just not a fan of the radial lace. And i'm not trying to put down anyones ride.....it's just my opinion!!! I'm really more of an "Old School" guy(really like the look of a 40 spoke laced wheel), i just went with 80 spokes to (hopefully) gain some strength. I sent requests for estimates to at least 10 different places to find the best deal i could get. I didn't choose the CHEAPEST wheel i found.....but i did choose the best "Bang for My Buck" that i felt i found!

I've had my 60 spoke in the air a couple of times, hit more than a couple of potholes, still straight and true. Haven't even had to tighten a spoke and they have over 20k miles on them. Got them from DNA.

Ya, it's not easy on this thing! I have to have my wife on, or it just spins the tire. I'm hoping cams and a car tire make it a bit easier. I don't pay enough attention to be able to describe exactly how i do it. I've been riding motocross bikes since i was a kid(and still do), so it's something i've alway done. Most people think its either crazy or stupid to do on a harley.....but it's just part of what makes riding fun for me!!! I'd ride wheelies into 4th gear with my wife(and she loves it) on the back of my sporty. I'm going to need more power to be able to contol this bike that well.
