I am looking at putting an 18x5.5 rear wheel on my deuce and have a couple questions.

I'm rather certain I may of worn my search option out on the forum by navigating for this topic.

If anyone has done this or has knowledge and can confirm a couple questions for me, I would greatly appreciate it.


I am looking at the 18x5.5 with a 180 rear tire (not a SE180). I was looking at the spoke wheel from KC International.


Question: When I put the wheel on do I need any additional spacers? Or will it bolt right up?

The specs of the wheels say: HUB LENGTH IS 7.100" LONG AND ON ROTOR SIDE HUB IS APPROX FLUSH WITH RIM AND PULLEY SIDE HUB STICKS OUT APPROX 15/16" .930 DIA. FROM RIM.

From what I have read, that hub can't be in excess of 7.1"....is that correct?


Also, I am in search of a sissy bar and luggage rack for a deuce

Thanks for any advice.

 

That will be a DNA wheel which is a crap shoot no matter what the ad says. There is a way to get a 200 tire on the back of a Deuce as well. If you replace your pulley with a 20mm and the best with the same on a wheel that has the proper offset (I don't know this off the top of my head) you can get the 200 on there.

 

Does HogPro offer a 18x5.5 40 spoke that would fit a deuce?

 

Yes, we do. Give me call for more info. Are you planning on running the 180 or 200 set up?

 

I have the Deuce 'standard height' sissy bar (p/n #51114-00) with 'short' backrest pad (p/n #51534-00) available for sale, $135 shipped CONUS. PM me if you're interested.

I don't have any extra Deuce luggage racks though, sorry. Hopefully someone here will step up with one, otherwise your only option is eBay.

 

Dear HP,

Convince Sinister Wheel people to sell a 21x3.5 fat spoke
