After a hard learned lesson on wheel bearing removal/install, (I spun the rear wheel bearing) I am needing to buy new wheels. Front and rear to be safe. I looked around , but could'nt find any aftermarkets for an XB. Does anybody make them? | ||

So far I have only seen spokes but cannot remember where. The factory wheels are the best IMHO. | ||

You could get some XBRR wheels. They look the same but are made of Magnesium so they are much lighter. | ||

Perhaps someone on the board would know if they can be repaired. I would not be surprised if that were the case. Besides the two options mentioned above, I not be able to find any other wheels. The front has some patent protection, I believe. (Message edited by gentleman_jon on December 18, 2006) | ||

If you change your forks and brakes you can use just about any wheels you want. It's a roundabout way but sometimes if you want a different look, you gotta jump through hoops. | ||

Thanks you guys. By the way, I called the machine shops and they said it would take too many hours to fit a larger bearingto make it cost effective. I can get stock buells from the hog shop for $350 apeice(absolutely no discount). I dont know the conversion rates, but all the rims on the above links look more expensive than that. Once again, thanks for the input. | ||

too worn to use Loctite bearing seal? I had good luck with that a few decades ago. Can't get a cylinder shaped shim made? | ||

List price for XB12, amber wheels is 375.00 each I sell them for 337.50 each they come with the new bearings installed so you can just put them on. Black wheels are 325.80 for the front 337.50 for the rear | ||

Daves, I wonder how much it was cost to ship to Alaska? Thats a good price considering the hog shop told me it doesnt come with bearings. I would like black. Do you have these? Rhun - There is almost 1/16 of an inch play. Its totally roached. | ||

I would need to order them but they usually only take a few days to get. Keep in mind that Buell/HD are closed up next week. I will be here Thurs-Sat next week Shipping, I am guessing would be about 25.00 or so per wheel? Roached! I haven't heard that in years. |
