Here is a strange one...anyone ever heard of a bike coming from the factory with two different rims on it? I have a 2011 road King that I bought used...nothing indicates it was in a wreck and guy said he told me about every mod and that everything was stock except stage 1, had all work done at dealer and he seems like a trust worthy dude. front has the older style stepped rim spoke wheel and rear is the newer style "smooth" spoke rim. Never noticed it until now.

 

I know my local dealer once got a new bike in that had two different colored fenders on it.

 

I do not think the "profile" front rim came out until a few years after your year. likely a swap.

 

Hmmm. Maybe I need carfax.

 

A lot of time a guy can buy a take off wheel and tire cheaper than you can go to a dealer and buy a tire and have it installed. It's very possible the seller found a craigslist deal on a wheel and tire and smacked it on there.

 

I think the 2011 RKC had an optional aluminum laced spokes which can accommodate tubeless tires. The original owner could have put one on.

 

My 05 came with the profile rims stock front & rear.

 

I got two right side brake rotors and a tire with opposite directional arrows lol.

 

Now you can look for a used low profile front rim to match the rear one.Definitely didn't come from factory like that.

 

I think I actually like the stepped rim better. Neither say tubeless on them.
