I am in the process of upgrading my front wheel assembly... What I have now is a 21 inch by 2.15" front rim... This has already been upgraded from stock to a dual disc brake hub & 60 spoke as the bike (05 Night Train) came with a single disc & 40 spoke 21 inch wheel.. The front tire is the a 90 mm Metzeler ME880...
What I am doing is upgrading the rim to take a 120 mm Metzeler ME880 so I need a wider rime, ( I believe 3.25" to 3 1/2") in a 21".. I want to find a rim only, brake down my front wheel assembly and install the wider rim, then have the spokes trued, and install the bigger tire... I already have a full "bagger" style front fender so it will all work together... I want to use a chromed steel rim.... any ides where I can find this ? I have looked in V Twin catalogue & JP Cycles... I haven't seen anything yet... I don't want to buy a complete assembly as mine is already custom to my bike.. I have Pro 1 lowers for Softail in a dual disc configuration and I am running the 99 down style front bearings ( tapered Timken) not sealed, so that I can service them... anyway, am throwing this out there hoping I can find a source for a 21" X (3 1/4 - 3 1/2 " ) steel chrome rim only... Thanks.. Lee
