Hey guys... a buddy of mine just clobbered his stock rims on a pot hole on trip he was taking... he hit me up and let me know. he wants to run a 120 front tire now with the new set up... just wondering if you guys have any sugestions on where to locate a nice rim that i can lace wiht the stock spokes and hub to his softail custom to make a 120 work... also willing to swap spokes if needed (they may be bent i have not seen the rim yet)
any help would be great!!! thanks

 

Hey Joe! Hope all is well. Haven't heard from you in some time......
Jireh sells a 3.25" rim which is planty wide to run the 120mm. They also have the spokes needed if necessary.......

 

solid thanks bud... hope you been well bud have not talked to you in forever!!! i bet it is the same rim i am running on my dyna!

 

I also have the 3.25 rim from jireh, but ran into problems while lacing the spokes. i am using the factory hub and spokes from my 06 fxst. the first 30 went good, but last ten were to long. the "rib" on the jireh rim is wider than the stock and im guessing thats why i was having problems. the rim is at a shop and im waiting to hear if i have to order new spokes or if they r going to cut the old ones. i think factory are like 9 3/4 and it looked like the last ten needed to be 9 1/2 or so. not sure what they will say but ill get back to ya guys. iv been waiting 3months to see what the 140 will look like on the front of my bike!

 

I am putting the 140 on a road king project in the shop next week, should be a sick tire! are you going to wrap it in a fender or what?

 

awesome. no fender, like the look better without.

 

well i called Jireh and they 21/3.25 rim (same one i have) 30-50 part number is out of stock... anyone have any other ideas?
