I have an '05 Springer that I took out for the first time this spring and it had a horrible wobble in the rear end. Found out the spokes are stretching and were loose. The shop told me I could replace the wheel for about $750 or have it respoked for about $600. I thought about just changing out both wheels to something a little more flashy. I'm just in a tough spot. I hate to replace a wheel I never really liked anyway so I would like to replace both but as you know that's ~$2000. Anyone have experience respoking wheels or have any suggestions on what would look good on this bike. Thinking maybe black wheels with Chrome fat spokes?

 

I have been able to find used spoke wheels on ebay for 150 or so

 

That price is INSANE...you can have it done for a lot less than that.

Nice springer. Some black rims with fat spokes would look great

 

I've got problems on an 11 Heritage lace up wheels and want to send my 07 Road King 9 spokes in to be De-nubbed and use them on it..


Any kits ..or known spacers that will work ?

 

I agree those prices are crazy

 

I just checked a shop that will true a spoke wheel for $80 and $2.50 per spoke if new ones are needed. Beautiful bike.
