    Help on installing rear wheel.

    I am installing a 17" wheel , a welded up radial. It is pretty heavy. I can't seem to.get the wheel to engage with the pumpkin. Any advice as it's a bitch to move around. I got the axel.to.go thru but won't extend past the pumpkin as the gears won't align.

    85 Front Wheel vs Later Style

    Can't seem to find an answer to this, but is there any functional difference in the factory front wheels? I like the way the 85's look, but I wouldn't want one if it is heavier or weaker.

    Fron and rear wheel stands for Gen 2

    when I had all my gen 1's I saw a stand here and there but I see most Gen 2's have stands. The 2015 I bought came with a rear stand. Is this due to the no center stand ?

    18" X 5-1/2" rear wheel

    Fresh from the machinist. $1200 plus paypal fees and shipping. Stock shaft drive hub on a new rim. This will give you very-close to the height of a stock wheel/tire combo, even w/a low-profile radial. Add a front radial on your stock wheel to change your handling dynamically!
