Default Spoked Rear Wheel

I am looking for a source for a spoked rear wheel to match the front wheel on my 2009 Sportster 1200C. The wheel size is 16X3 with a 25mm axle.

Thanks
Craig

American Classic Motors will have what you're looking for...and with a good price. Their site sucks but if you call them they're cool to deal with.

I have a 2008 1200 C and love the rear wheel, easy to clean and I think it looks good, plus no spokes to get lose, no tube and wheel band to buy when replaceing the tire. I have a spoked rear on my 07 XL50 and I have to say it's not really all that better looking and alot harded to keep clean.

It's a matter of opinion I guess. I like the newest rear wheel on the 1200C models but I think I'd still rather have matching wheels. I put a matching spoke rear on my wife's C and it looks great.

With the stock rear wheel

Anyone know the weight difference of a stock "mag" or cast alum. wheel vs. the chrome or alum. laced wheel? I like the look of a classic spoke or laced wheel, but also want to loose a few lbs off the sporty. Rotating mass robs power, and with the 883 I have currently, I want all the bhp I can get. I'd like to really "hot rod" the Sporty I got. Sorry for the thread jack. BTW, the 2 tone Sportster with black laced wheels is exactly the look I want eventually. Sick looking bike!

Yeah that bike looks killer and the older C wheel is silver, mine is chrome and then rough in the center, but still kinda shiney so that is why I like it. For the life of me I will never understand why HD puts two differant wheel styles on some bikes?

Had dramas finding someone to supply one, was messaging ebay seller '883choppers' the other day and he says he can hook me up with one for $100 more than a 1" hub spoked one. Guess thats a start?
