John, I think they were Ride Rights or something like that. Each time they were replaced for free. I'll ask about pics.

Thanks, Ride Right makes a pretty good wheel. 23" wheels have a pretty long spoke, I wonder if we may be getting to the end of todays spoke technology???

I like mine . No problems. this is the narrow rim. I think it's 21 x 2.15.

I had my tires mounted this weekend. I have 2 black 16" for my Heritage.
I had a bad valve stem on one of them. It was a slow leak, but I was lucky it went flat before I mounted it the bike.
I had to add a small spacer to the front axle. Wheel hub was just touching the lower leg.

Your bike looks just sick... Did you have to do anything as far as the rake? I was told if I went to a 23 I would have to do a 5-7 degree rake. I have been told it is not necessary on the 21 but wanted to ask.

Thanks
21" fits without any modification on stock fender and 120/70/21 tire. Yes a 23" requires a rake kit which I didn't want to get into.

Looking good bucaman! Can you tell me where you got those brake rotors? I like the look, thanks.

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what I wanted to hear. I was beginning to think nobody responds to new people on here
