Default New Wheels!
My dad actually picked these up from a member of our Local HOG. Toyed with the idea of using them on his 05 EG but since its almost exclusively used for two-up touring, he figures its best to stay with the comfort and reliability of the stock 16s, and instead shop for some fancy wheels for his FXDL. He sold them to me for what he payed, 1000 bucks. There Performance Machine Rivieras, with matching rotors and nice chrome spacers. The front tire needs replacing but theres only 3000km on the rear (Metz 880). So just need to grab a replacement 120/70/21 Metz, and put the wheels on the bike. Pretty happy thats for sure!! Theres no marks on the wheels, and the rotors are very lightly used. Hopefully with a slight trim of the front fender tip lights stud, there will be no clearance issues. Cant wait to get these on!!!!

Congrats on the wheels. New wheels are the icing on the cake for any bike. BTW, I changed my ME 880 a couple of weeks ago with 7500 miles on it. It was slick as an onion with cords showing, prolly should have changed it 500 miles sooner.
