Thanks for all the interest and the tips guys. As soon as I figure out how to post pics, I will. Panhead, I'll check out those Ultima wheels. NC D'luxe, your bike put me over the edge bro. Are those DNA wheels on your scoot? Kozy, how are your DNA wheels holding up? I've always used PM wheels so this whole spoke thing is new for me. I talked to Black Bike Wheels yesterday and they seemed like cool people. I love the look of their wheels and I'm thinking about going with a 19" up front, 18" rear. Black drop centers with chrome outers, chrome spokes, and black hub. Then I look at pics of your bikes with the DNA's and I like that look too.
If I were you and I had 90's model bike I would be looking at the new King Spoke wheels very hard. You can possibly find them for half the price of DNA wheels. Unless the prices have come up on them. Such as this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultima-King-...sories&vxp=mtr

Yeah, that's why I said to buy King Spokes direct from Jireh. That wheel from Jireh is $254.99 shipped. Same wheel with black rim & hub and chrome spokes is only $234.99 shipped. The MFG Ultima, owns Jireh ... which is why they'll have the lowest prices on the King Spokes.
Panhead, How is the fit and finish on those wheels? Any complaints with leakage or fitment? I'm all about saving some dough, but don't want safety issues or quality problems. That is a fantastic price and in the pics those wheels look just as nice as the DNA's to me.

These wheels are fairly new to the market and I've only had them on for just over 8 weeks. When the tires were mounted (tubeless) I went with 40 psi in both. I put just over 1000 miles on them so far and I'm loving them, they're still at 40psi as well. Install was a breeze and fitment was bolt-on. A friend bought them as well for his 96 Heritage and he cut 1/16" off his left rear wheel spacer and put that 1/16" cut off on the right side to shim his wheel over a 1/16" to the left. He said his belt was tracking fine before doing so, but the tire looked a tad off-set to being centered under the fender.
Here's a few close ups so you can judge quality for yourself. I'm very pleased with their quality so far.
The Fat spokes always look the Dogs no matter what size you decide to go with!
I love the look & for quality & price you can't beat PanheadRich, his ride is sure looking the Dogs with his choice of wheels!
Panhead, Thanks a bunch for the pics. That really help and the wheels look KILLER. I'm going to cal Jireh tomorrow and see about ordering a set of 21", 18" in black and chrome. I'm still trying to figure out how to post pics here.
