Happy Birthday!!!
One year ago yesterday, I got my first Harley-Davidson in 30 years. 17,343 miles later, it still puts a huge grin on my face every time I fire it up. I hope I never lose that feeling.

Good lookin bike. Congrats!
I'm thinking about getting a '13 RK or Ultra with the tubeless laced wheels. How are those on your bike holding up? Any issues, leaks, loose spokes etc?
I had a dealer tell me there were problems with them, but I suspect he was FOS - like most dealers seem to be.
Thanks for any info and ride safe.

They were on the bike when I got it and the dealer had out a tube in it already. No problems other than the spokes like to loosen up. If I would have thought about it at the time, I would have had them put the stock wheels back on before taking delivery. Plus they are a pita to clean. lol
Yeah, that's what the dealer told me about these wheels too, regarding the spokes getting loose. I guess he actually did know what he was talking about, for once! He also said that the MOCO had stopped mounting these wheels till they could find a "fix", but I see they're still offered as an option on the 2013 bikes on the H-D site - so who knows.
Thanks for the info and ride safe.
