Advice on some new rims for a Train
#51
These are from RWW, I just wanted to give you a visual of paint option (powder coating) for a black denim bike (mate black spokes would look bitchin'). And you should consider fat spokes.
*Ok, picture them with these changes: a mate black rim and white spoke nuts, same mate black spokes and white center.
Mimo.

Jeff, congrats on a great job gettng those darn DNA's to work on late model softy's.
You would would probably do a great service to those who are trying to decide on these wheels, by giving a detailed description of the spacer dimensions and help de-mystify the fitting of the rear wheel. A few pics would really help too.
I would suggest starting a new thread and title it accordingly so it will pop up easy on a search.
Good job bro ! Now its time to ride and enjoy those new rollers.

I bought a 18"x5.5 60 spoke from Mototek off ebay for $300 shipped. Told them it was for an 07 Nighttrain. 2 weeks later the wheel arrived from DNA and I took it to my local indy to have it mounted. Long story short the hub was too wide and when you bolted the pulley up it hit the swingarm. Emailed mototek and told them it was the wrong hub and gave them the part #. They said it was the wrong wheel and they'd get back with me. They do not get in any big hurry and usually takes them a day or two to answer a question. Every day they were going to get back with me "first thing in the morning" for prepaid shipping to send them back the wheel. They wouldn't send me a new one until I sent the other one back, but they were very very slow on getting the ball rolling so I finally just told them to give me an address because I was tired of waiting and I would pay shipping. The wheel got there and it was another 2 weeks before I got the right wheel. It wasn't a direct bolt up, but my Indy made some new spacers and had to put a pulley spacer on too. All said and done it was over a month and a half before I got the right wheel. The price was unbeatable though, and if you feel like putting up with the headache it's worth it. It's a big gamble, some people get the right wheel out of the box, some people have to mess with the crap. I waited to leave feedback until the wheel was mounted up and I rode it down the street. The wheel looks awesome and the quality is great, however, the customer service is horrible.
