Default Help identifying a rear wheel

Hi,

I have been tasked by my Uncle to sell a few parts he has spare. He is not the most computer literate, hence why I have been tasked to help him.

One item in particular is troubling me, the wheel in the picture below;





Was hoping someone could shed some light on what wheel this is?

If there is any information that would help to identify it, please let me know.

Thanks in advance

Hi from the UK old chap and welcome to HDF. It has a Harley trade mark on it, so is a genuine accessory, also all Harley cast wheels for many years are made in Australia (production only recently transferred to China). It may somewhere have it's rim size, but if you measure the width inside the rim that will help. The solid valve stem suggests it is not very old (they used to be rubber, like a car). Are the threads in the hub the same each side, or is one side larger than the other?

Thanks for the advice, I have put it on eBay now.

Hopefully there will be some interest on there for him.

Thanks again.
