Did you try Jireh Cycles? I think they are like the Mother Ship (or affiliated).
Their Website leaves a lot (i mean mucho) to be desired, but they have catalog to download. May have to call for pricing.

Here's a cut sheet on the King Spokes

in most cases, even after explaining what i was doing, people though i was a nut and refused to help. those types of calls are large part of the reason i ended up going with the craptastic wheel with clocked rotor issues.
i don't hate the crappy wheel at all though (now). it is performing like a champ! i actually enjoy riding my wide glide now. no fear of not being able to stop or the front wheel chasing cracks and holes in the road. me and the bike have come to an understanding. amazing what vision, tutoring, and elbow grease can do.

yeah, i actually called them and they also acted like i wanted a zoo animal for a pet. "wides glide don't do dual disks" "i've never heard of that"

Should have just ordered the 37-542...It's the dual disc "Touring"...just what the doctor (drdr) ordered

really.. you are " Kinda [disappointed]" that your (1)STOCK (2)CRUISER WITH (3, 4, 5)CLICHE WALMART SHOW PIPES does not go over 118. go figure...
manage your expectations... you will be less likely to be "Kinda [disappointed]" or buy a sport bike.. the stock sportster is super unstable above 100... you are playing roulette with your life at that point.

If I want (notice I didn't say need) to go over 118 on a cruiser-type motorcycle I'd get a Ducati Diavel. It's top speed is merely 169mph (240km). However, I'd be understandably disappointed at not being to hit 170.
