Dr. V-Twin, could you please tell your bud there that I want some of his X Pipes for my Rocker and he needs to get on that pronto... If he is willing to comply to this demand I will be sure to place my order for them through you, especially at your discounted pricing, cause I do like deals, lol...

I think a chrome factory style 21" would look excellant on the front and would probably be interested in upgrading too if I hadn't jumped the gun and bought new dunlops including the mm90/19 front, only for the bike to arrive with a very nice set of metzellers already on it, the front being a 100/90/19... ****...

 

Recsue7, I'm interested to know how long you have been waiting for your wheels? I bought a set of chrome wheels from them and got the wheels right away, but one had a hairline crack and leaked air so i sent it back and its been 2.5 months and i still haven't got it back yet! Plus it took 2 months to get my core deposit back. I hope you have better luck!

 

I have heard that Yaffe's stuff takes forever too.

 

majc thanks for the heads up. I ordered my chrome Rocker wheels Jan 5th, they wanted $800 deposit so I let them charge me. They were promised by Jan 25th, saying they had plenty of people ordering so I decided on being put on waiting list. If by Monday the 8th my order isn't shipped then I will cancel and have a local chrome shop plate my original wheels. Last conversation I had was Friday the 5th was the expected date of shipping.

As far as getting a security deposit refunded I will see if I actually take delivery of the wheels, if i do then I will be hounding them on an hourly basis.

I feel for you getting a wheel with a hairline crack, i will mention thuis to Jay the manager and have him e-mail me a copy of the guarantee. I also paid via AMEX so I will dispute any charge that doesn't get looked at immediately.

Here is a link for a chrome parts supplier located in Dayton Ohio, I took delivery of the 5 star floating rotors and they are top notch.

whats the verdict? i would dig a 21 up front chrome.blak,polished etc. etc.

 

In the January American Cycle Magazine they have an article on a Paul Yaffe build for Bones & Tails (picture below). The bike has a 23" front wheel and it appears to have the same look as the Rocker 19" wheel (The triple trees have a 5 degree rake in them). Didn't see anything on the Paul Yaffe site regarding this wheel or a 21" wheel. I like it!

 

Whoa wheel looks huge....

 

+1 too big
a 21 now were talkin!!

 

Also wouldn't fit under my new Heartland front fender...

 

Well guys after his original email yaffe hasn't answered any of my follow ups reguarding the 21" he has, so I guess the waiting game begins. The 23" I think is way to big but the 21" should be KILLER! I will keep you guys posted.
