Sold two sets of those lowers today. I'll have to check if any chrome dual discs are left in stock for you tomorrow.

Maybe I missed it, but what brand is the fat spoke wheel you got. That is what I want for my RKC. Love those black spokes.

He got a DNA. Known for fitment and finish issues. I don't sell that brand for that exact reason. They are inexpensive but that comes with it's own can of worms.

Ok I discovered the "drag" got home jacked it up and the rotor was getting into the left caliper bad...funny thing is the left side is the ABS bearing the one that everyone says is 3mm bigger than a NON ABS bearing, all this talk about not having to change if you go from ABS to NON ABS is bull, you have to change the bearing! When I put the wheel up in the fender it was HARD to get in there no wheel should have to be forced in...last time I bought HogPro wheels they went in like butter. Today I'm going to take this wheel into HogPro and hopefully they can press bearings in today because my bike is on jack stands with 2 tires supporting the front end...no fun!! My advise is spend the money and do it right the first time. Hopefully this works.

The wheel is here. Definitely has an ABS bearing in it and it was also mounted backwards on the wheel. I am sure this issue will be sorted out once we swap the bearing.

Backwards!!! Lol...this just keeps getting better. Thanks for helping me out with this issue. I have said this before and I will continue to say it HogPro is by far the best customer service in the industry the have some much knowledge that its scary. Who else do you know that will take a wheel that they never sold and help you out with? I actually have sent friends there and they where treated the same way. Stand up guys with top notch products! I'm a life long customer for sure. Forget DNA if you want black fat spokes check out there sinister line WAY better product than what I got.

You did score a great deal on that wheel though. The tire alone is worth what you paid for everything as those tires are virtually impossible to find.
