While I bought my wheels from Coastal Moto and am very happy, I will say that one of my friends bought his wheels from Hogpro and was very happy with the service. They look great.

Default rear pics

Scoop, TX, or SC: can any of you guys post some pics of the rear of the bike to show how the tire fills out the fender please? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I appreciate you getting back to me on this. I have read the same thing, the bad tire issue on the 18X5.5. I believe I will be running the 21x3.25/17x6.25 combo. I checked your website and I guess I will have to save a little bit more unfortunately. I do like your personalized service though, very professional and makes you seem like you want a sale. I've been on your website a thousand times when I had my Deuce because I wanted a 200 kit for that bike, but then I bought an "07 Night Train with a 200 from factory. We rode the hell out of that bike but once we did the glide ride, it was all over with then. My girl said that is the bike she wants. I secretly wanted it too.

Since you are kind enough to reply, I would like to ask a couple more questions. First, like I said, I will have to save a little longer. Military budget brother, plus child support even though I have 50-50 custody. Figure that one out. Anyway, can you tell me if there is a big difference between chrome and polished please? Obviously, the wheels are plated with the chrome, but it is cheaper to get polished. Is this something you recommend for someone on a budget or is it simply smarter to get the chrome? I wash the bike all the time and keep it clean. I never had any issues with the polished smoothie rear on my Night Train and actually had it looking like chrome after I Flitzed it. I plan on keeping this bike for a long time so I want the best product for my money. My fiance and I love this bike. Can you somehow seal polished wheels so they keep the shine and not get oxidized?

Does Hogpro have any "less than perfect" wheel sets? Something with a tiny scratch maybe? Or possibly used sets? Do you guys need a bike in PA to represent or trial fit wheels? I like your idea of saver sets but unfortunately, don't really like the asthetics of those wheels. The Coastal Moto, renegade, and Colorado Custom wheels are hot. I'm not a big fan of PM, kid seems like a spoiled brat that got his start from his daddy (I'm just jealous). But something along those lines would be great. I also would want at the very least front rotors to match as well. I would probably also want Dyna Beads so I wouldn't have any ugly weights hanging on my wheels.

So there are my prerequisites that I am trying to get for the absolute cheapest price possible. I know it asking for a lot but we all want what we want. My problem is being stuck in the position I am in. But I am sincere when I say that I like you going after the sale and I have watched Hogpro for years. I WILL get wheels at some point so hopefully we can make something happen.

Thanks,

Ash
Sorry I took so long to get back to you. Polish wheels look great when new but they tend to dull in appearance after a few years unless you really stay on top of them. Price difference is usually around $100 less for polish depending on the manufacturer. For the minimal price difference I would stick with chrome because it pops better and is much easier to maintain. We do on occasion have wheels that are blems that I can offer great prices on so when you are getting ready to pull the trigger just let me know and I will work you up the best deal I can.
