Nipples for Ride Wright Spoke Wheels
Hi everybody,
I'm new to this forum. I have a Softail with Ride Wright Fat spoke wheels. I wanted to refurbish the wheels and decided to strip the wheels and send them for Powder Coating. The Nipples are very heavily pitted. I wanted to re-chrome the Nipples and then have them finished in brass. I got the Nipples back from chroming and not really happy with the result.
Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase these types of nipples?? I have asked Ride Wright and they said that they only supply complete wheels. This is a bit disappointing considering the cost of these wheels and then you cannot get any support.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia, USA!
Just in case you have not done both of these two important items!
Be sure to add an Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post with your USER name.
And most importantly a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike model, year, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with that others see at the bottom.
This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question or another member interested in it may ask you a question about it.
Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________
