Congrats Bro, Make sure you post some pics when you get em on. Having them machined isnt too bad of a deal. Be sure and let us know if the valve stem openings are too small. Did you go all chrome?
Ya I took my wheels and tires to Rick at Attitude Customs here in Bend Or. to have them mounted up he has a guy next door to his shop who owns a machine shop to get the pully and spacer machined. We will have to drill the stem hole. No big deal. When the pulley gets done its going to get powder coated gloss black to match the bike. Should make the chrome back wheel pop. Yes I went all chrome. Should get them back and ready for install end of the week. I will post pics this weekend.

Can we at least get a pic of the wheels? I have been waiting for ages to see them!

Sorry Drew, as soon as the wheels got here today I fitted them on the bike and then pulled em and went to the shop to get tires mounted. No early pics. Should have by the weekend. The spokes are way fat. love it. your shift linkage will look sick. I want one.

Hey stone, what size did you go with? 21x3 up front? That sucks you had to drill. Im gonna run a black rim with chrome spokes, SO Im kinda worried about drilling out the valve stem with the powder coated rim. Makes me a little quizzy

I went with 21x3.5 up front. When you drill just be very slow with it. Also when you put the tube in you will put the nut on the outside. Im going to get the chrome valve stem covers. The powder coat should be fine. The chrome definatly will be ok. Good luck.

I ordering my new rims today. I am thinking about the Twista in chrome now. LEt me know what you guys think as Tstones rims are at the machine shop... http://www.ridewrightwheels.com/twista
Have had mine on bike since july with no leaking issues and no tubes installed...only about 2000 miles so far...got the dynabeads but never had to put them in...been up to 110mph so far with no vibration.
As far as spacers on 08 fatboy/crossbones/deluxe combo bike the front 21x3 with 120 cobra went on with stock spacers and the rear 18x5.5 needed 1/2inch more axle spacer on drive side and fatspoke pulley needed 7/8 spacer to run 200 cobra and 1 1/8 belt
she's been waiting in the shop since nov and just checked pressures front and rear went from 35psi to 32psi
so all good with DNA on my end except rear hub 1/2 inch narrower than stock 08 17x6 harley hub
BTW just picked up diamond fatspoke shift link for mine from DNA for $40 with rodends...nice piece
