Wierd similarity, Magna- street glide wheels
I happened upon this pic of a Honda Magna and the Street Glide wheels came to mind....similar. I guess there are only so many ways to design a wheel that is black....just Harley uses skinnier spokes or whatever you call them.

On the magna wheels there is no black. between the spokes is hollow. Look through the front wheel, you can see the brake disc on the other side.
You are right that they are similar in style though...

Dang, I thought this was a trick question, I never got past the blond. I guess the wheels are similar.

The Jap bike was made in 83, the Harley 09/2010 How do you figure?
Looks like Harley maybe accidentally made a wheel that appears similar to the Honda Magna

Just a sarcastic statement aimed at those who always say the metrics are copying Harley. Yamaha came out with a bike with hidden shocks somewhere around 1981, Harley introducted the Softail a few years later.
