Hot Damm - looking GREAT!

Looks good, Dave! The conical wheel spacers are the iceing on the cake.

What tire did you decide to go with? I installed the Bridgestone G701. So far no complaints but I think I'm going to try a Commander II next time. We'll see how the Stone wears.
Hang on to that set of conical wheel spacers for me. I'll be picking those up in the near future.

I had Dunlop E3's bias front and rear so I just picked up another one in an 18".

I got one you can have, Scott. You might get some wise cracks about your bike being a Harley-mad...or maybe a Harleysaki

No Problem, we can fix you right up.

Looks real good Dave, matches the air cleaner cover too. I see you also machined up a set of bearing/wheel spacers too......... Looking good.

Great job!!!

I'v been wondering if ANY Kawk Wheel that is "wider than my 02 nomad rear wheel"...will "fit right on" in place of my stock alloy nomad REAR wheel ! ??

I have to admit that the Harley Wheel Vucal Bill has is really nice !

DR Roos · 02-02-2014, 07:08 PM

Both bikes look awesome!

Go on line to Ron Ayers OEM parts finder micrfiche and study the wheel/drive and parts diagrams for yours and a later model. You should be able to determine if there are significant differences. FYI...my '05 1600 OEM tire size is 170/70-16 but I'm running a 180/65-16 with no probs.

Just an update on front wheels, Street Glide, Road Glide and Road King wheels will fit too. You just have to measure the distance between the bearings and the rotors for fork and spacer mods. Just be sure the wheel you pick has 25mm ID bearings.

Oh and by the way if someone with a 1500 would like to do this mod and you can get me some dimensions, send me a PM

...and the brake rotors are 300mm. It wouldn't surprise me to find out thats an industry standard.
