Mine bolted right on, of course. I guess I have good luck with wheels. Don't worry, I'm here for everyone, especially my customers. I don't rest until everything is proper and I have a good feeling they will come right out of the box and bolt on without issue.

When I brought my Ride Wrights home ( I picked them up at their factory) I had them on in under an hour and was riding around right away, without issue. Worry not. The forums are my home. The first and last things I read everyday are here.

Mine bolted right in too, using the stock spacers, etc. Even though I got them used, Sam offered up any help I needed to get them to work.

One caution, I tried to take a shortcut installing the rear and had a heck of a time. You should follow the manual when removing and installing the rear wheel. I think it had something to do with the rear brake caliper and it may have involved removing the pads to get that little bit of extra clearance. Or maybe not, it's been a couple of years and my mind is a little fuzzy.

The funny thing about this is one thing that someone has read somewhere has teh power to drastically affect the opinion of the public. We must keep in mind that the internet is a breeding grounds for truth as much as it is lies. I don;t knwo about you but i don't believe everything I read on the internet.

However I do like to deal with companies whom have stellar reputations in the industry, and both Dr. V-Twin and Ride Wright have these.
