Only the HDand the other thin spokehave these issues. I had the Fat Daddy on 2 bikes and never had this problem. I stay burning rubber and never had a loose spoke.

What calipers you got on that?

How about keep your mags in the rear for functionalitysince you can barely see the rear wheel (bags covering) an go spokes in the front for the look

, I think that's what I'm gonna do.

Just another reason why NOT to like spokes.

EXACTLY what I have. With 131RWHP, Spokes wouldn't last too long for me. [&:]

That's what I did after having spoke problems twice.

Manish, I have an 06 Road King Custom, and at a speed of 60/70/80 I can get a wobble. I have the original factory mag wheels. I thought it was just a trait of the RK, but maybe I should have it analyized.
