I've seen alot of customization of XB's but never seen any aftermarket rims. Any good sources?

Thanks Ron. We're heading out to Vegas in Feb. Is Vegas HD/Buell worth the stop?

Hmmmmm.We can buy all sorts of Carbon or Magnesium or forged aluminum improvements for other makes.But there seems extremely few improvements to be made over our stock wheels.That's what i like most about Buells'.

My new Blackstonetek CF wheels do not feel any lighter than my XB wheels...and they cost $3500 for the set.The wheels ARE lighter than the stock Duc wheels tho

The wheels are merely eye candy for the moment.They even have uber tech ceramic rotors.I'm trying to assemble the engine first.And THAT has taken the last 6 months

Turns out that splooging on a key board at work is frowned upon.

I personally think the spokes look like ass.
But I'd give my left anything for the ones above them.

On the tech marvel that the XB chassis is, the spokes are a cool touch. That bike just kicks ass, I think I like it more then Hellbender

Ted, that's a good question.
Go to Hillbilly Motors to find out.
If you can't find it there, shoot Jens an e-mail, he's been real good at answering all my questions.
His english is pretty good too.

Jens at Hillbilly loves talking Buell. Don't be afraid to ask him about any of his shop's projects or products.

I love the look of the spoked rims. A really sweet juxtaposition with the rims and the motor being "old school" and the
rest of the bike being so new. I just can't afford them or I'd have a set on my bike.
