Carbon Fiber Wheels
« on: August 25, 2008, 05:48:05 PM »
I did a search and found no mention of anyone doing this. I'm very interested in a set of these for 2 reasons. The obvious is weight reduction overall and the real advantage of course would be less rotational mass

Does anyone know of an aftermarket supplier for carbon fiber wheels?

Doubt you'll find much out there for a HD, unless it's a Vrod.  Weight savings and rotational mass don't mean much on an 850lb bagger with a batwing fairing, and POS suspension from the factory, percentage wise...

Thankyou Robertinargyle! That is exactly what I was looking for. 

As far as chrome on a scoot goes, yes, it's purty. I'll just say this, there's ridin' n' slidin' and there's profilin'. It all depends on what you get off on. To each their own!

Well, I'm past  the age of being able to 'tuck & roll', so I guess I'll have to pass on the ride' n' slidin' and just chrome the whole danged thang now!  :coolblue: har!  :drink: spyder

Some of us like performance, we bought CVOs after all, as well as show.  Carbon fiber wheels will definitely add a performance edge to a CVO.  Acceleration, braking and turn in will all be greatly improved.  I'm looking for a tire to go with BST carbon wheels now.

I trying to get a reading on whether or not our stock tire size will fit on the BST 19x3 wheel.  I found a few sites that indicate that there is a range of wheel sizes will the same tire size.  Anyone have any confirmation?
