AB, you might want to consider getting the thing laced and trued at the same time. And, if you have any money left over - have Tom chrome the hub! And you will feel patriotict knowing that your rebate check did not go to the oil giants/Arabs or the imported Chinese frozen poisen food.!

So you can get it all for me huh LRT? You're such a salesman!

But please feel free to send me a message with the total damage it would cost to my Economic Stimulus Check (chuckle)

I might consider it a bargain if I can get it all on one fell swoop. I'm talking the whole kit and kaboodle too... tire, brake set up, wheel.... all of it.....

Ok you guyz .. this post is starting to go in circles a bit...
You need to figure this out in an order .. so to speak...

1) Is the 16 wheel you have now .. actually a 16x4 ..?? That is .. does it measure 4" between the inside edges of the bead lips ..?? Thats not a very common wheel setup .. quite possible .. just not common ... If so .. you are good to go up to a 160x16 tire ...or about a 6.5" wide tire (when mounted on a 4" rim..) Then you just need to buy...

Yes spacing, go to cyclexchanges site and ken has a whole explanation of diff. years and rear gear since it is a honda. P.S. excell does a 16x5.5 alloy rim , it ain't cheap but it's light

Damn, Alan....everytime I look at that bike I like it more and more!

Angi, I see complete HD wheels on ebay all the time in 5.5 width. Is the frame set up for rear disk or using the stock Honda drum? 200 is not THAT bad. I am sure there are many ideas/opinions out there regarding this issue. Good luck!

We were pretty sure the 180 wouldn't work on the 4" rim. Kinda figured it would bulge out quite a bit and be an issue.

I like the look of your rear end there Alan.

I think that the 180 will look okay in my frame. It'll still be a wee bit roomy but I can deal with that. So apparently I need to look for a 16"...

16's are for girls.
i'd like to see a pic of the frame from the rear with the 16/180 in it.

So a dear friend of mine and a beloved HCMF, 1Kinicky1, donated one of my first chopper parts to me back a few months ago. It's a 16" harley rear wheel. Due to the beefy nature of the rear end of my frame (last years WHCM raffle score) it requires a fatter tire than I feel comfortable with. It's set up for a 200 tire, but I'm thinking that's a little much for me and have gotten pricing on a 16" 180/60 tire.

The rim on the wheel Kinicky donated to me...
