    Frankenharley

    Here you go Kagan.......

    This is a 2006 Street Bob that I had a 16" rim laced to the stock 19" wheel hub. I told Kagan about it and got yelled at for not posting pics. The shop I went through in MO farmed out the project to a company called Wheel Works out there in CA. They started from scratch and custom cut, bent, and threaded the new spokes.

    I cant do anything easy.

    Yes, I yelled at you, and deservedly so! It looks great and took some time and effort to get the parts you wanted! I love when I see projects outside the catalog!!

    Well done Duck. As I tell customers all the time, "You won't find 8' girders in the catalog but I bet you've seen 'em".

    Looks more reliable than the last bike I saw you riding. lol
    Damn good looking bike rdnekguy.
    I ordered my 05 Roadking with laced wheels but it showed up with with aluminum wheels.
    They look cool as hell.


    I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
    It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
    But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly

    This is very true..... nothing has fallen off this one

    And why am I not surprised that Wide knows of Wheel Works? I am still looking for someone to make a wide whitewall for the 17" rear tire. Like I told Kagan that is the last thing I need to get the look I am searching for.

    Yea well, that other project bike got you where you wanted to go. That was a great party too.

    Sounds like a plan bud. Hope you make it up this way or maybe I'll catch you in MI.
