Waiting for the rear shocks before we start hacking the back off the bike, but this should give you an idea as to what it looks like.
) I would buy it up, but for right now the easiest way to get around that is getting rid of the belt all together and going with a chain. 1WheelRevolution is working on a chain drive that will work with the stock rims and I'm hoping to get the front sprocket off of them and then going with some rims off of a Sporty, put a chain sprocket on it and space the wheel accordingly.
Already on it. It's been in work for over a month at my wheel supplier. I just sent a text to check on the status of the cush drive hubs for the Street so that 16" custom wheels can be used. We're also locating low profile 16" tires that won't change the outside tire circumference so the "final transmission-tire drive ratio" doesn't change and the stock speedo can be used.I will be getting rid of the rims eventually. The thing with these bikes is the crush drive (compensator) on the rear hub ... it makes life a little more challenging, to say the least. If someone came out with a 16" rim for the rear that works with the stock belt drive (StoneFree?>
I'm playing the waiting game right now though, see who can get me the parts first, before I go ahead with the mod.
Got a reply to my inquiry about the status of the cush drive for the Street... sort of. It's in work with "high priority" but they've been slammed with orders because of Daytona Bike Week as well as another major event that were at. They didn't give me a date which is what I really wanted. I'll keep the pressure on because it's important to me as well as many others that are interested in changing out the stock rear wheel.If someone came out with a 16" rim for the rear that works with the stock belt drive (StoneFree?>
Well that's good news! I imagine us Street owners are probably down at the bottom of the list for a lot of these companies. I don't think I'll really need a chain until I start my engine mods and start going for speed.
Nope....this place has loads of them.....and their prices are reasonable....not paying 2 grand for a set of pre-made spoke rims.....they also make other parts...pulleys...wheels for cush drive.....etc....
Well...their mark up is ridiculous....if my pricing was right...I priced them out at around $1200.00 a set for the specific ones I want and the exact color I want....I'm not against folks running a business....but their is a limit to my tolerance of outright gouging hard working folks....I don't care who they are or what they sell....
Going with a taller wheel on the front, the radius of the stock fender will not match the radius of the tire…..will have to find a Sportster fender and fit it to the Street……there is a Street on that HDWheels.com site with a taller tire and stock fender…..looks out of place…..there's ways to use or even mod the cush drive…anything is doable….lolAccording to HD Wheels.....
Iron XL883N has a 19x2.5 front and a 16x3 rear.
The Street has a 17x2.5 front and a 15x3 rear.
The widths are correct, height shouldn't be a problem.
I thought the rear cush drive was a problem but reading around it seems that for some strange reason all the Japanese XLs have rear cush drive?! Maybe a set from Japan will be a straight bolt on?
It would certainly look less "scooterish"
