Does anyone know if a rear v-rod rim(240)is the same an on a buell 07xb12s? Saw a bike on here that style was at a level never seen, I think it was a guy named Jonathan Jones. | ||

the v=rod crowd are putting xb wheels on the v=rod, so i dont know why it cant be done...you are aware that v=rods have a cush drive sprocket...that might actually be a plus, to get rid of some engine vibration... the 08 harley baggers went to a cush drive to get rid of vibration...ive been thinking about putting a 180 v-rod wheel on my bike... | ||

I am not sure what is meant by cush drive sprockets? Could you explain that to me? I was just looking at them today and thought it had some nice wheels, but it had 240's. | ||

the rear sprocket is cushoned by some rubber biscuits, so that metal is not actually touching metal..i added this option to my 07 bagger, because it had a vibration that was being transmitted from the engine thru the drive belt..yep, it really does make a difference... harley got so many complaints about the 07s, that they made it standard on the next model.. they are pretty bullet proof and durable.. in fact, some are saying that putting buell wheels on a v-rod can cause engine problems, due to the absence of the cush drive... | ||

The Japanese have used cushioned drive hubs on motorcycles since the early '50s. |
