You don't wanna hear the BS reason Harley Tech Support told my selling dealer.

Well, OK ...... They said I couldn't put Agitator wheels on mine because the ABS module on the SEUC is calibrated specifically to the Chisel wheels and that using ANY other kind of wheel could result in a malfunction of the ABS system and/or error codes.

I don't buy that crap for one minute.  Means you couldn't put any type of aftermarket or other Harley wheel on the bike.  Yet, we know others here have without any ill effects.

Where do they get this chit information from ...... about their very own products? :confused5:

My dealer told me that Harley told them all the other wheels would cause a dynamic imbalance on my FLHTCUSE8.  They refuse to publicly accept there is any issue with the stock the wheels.  They do not want any other wheel to be installed which would prove the issues caused by the "Chisel" wheels.  When I installed a set of Performance Machine wheels the bike works flawlessly.  It also worked flawlessly with a stock set of Street Glide wheels.

Just curious, are you experiencing the"twitchy handling" issues that others have described as having with our bike, or is it an aesthetic preference?

I'm running a 21" front and 18" on rear on my 2012. Bike rides smoother and handles curves better. I put 1000 miles on it 2 weeks ago in the mountains and ran the dragon as well. No problems or codes.

Ride it until the wheels fall off, then hang-on

 :zroflmao:     Got to love the lying SOB's, they never give up.  If you read the BS they put out for the 2014 models they devoted some space to "warning" folks that only the OEM Harley branded tires could be used, and implied dire consequences for those who didn't heed the warning.  Anyone who still believes a word Harley puts out needs an intervention.  First thing would be to confiscate the Kool-Aid and dump it down the drain.
