SKU:52-0832
The V-Twin 16 inch x 4.00 inch Replica Rear Spoke Wheel offers an authentic replacement designed specifically for vintage Harley Davidson models from 1936 to 1945. Crafted with precision, this wheel features a stock assembly with loose roller bearings, ensuring reliable performance and easy maintenance. After installation, it’s recommended to inspect and re-torque all spokes after approximately 500 miles to maintain optimal wheel integrity and safety. The wheel’s valve stem hole is positioned on the star side of the hub, measuring 11/64 inch from the drum side flange, facilitating proper valve placement and serviceability.
When installed correctly, the inner layer of spokes on the star side should point clockwise, and the rim should be properly centered with a straightedge placed across the brake side. The specified measurement from the straightedge to the brake side spoke flange confirms accurate rim alignment, which is crucial for smooth riding and tire longevity. This wheel is compatible with a variety of Harley Davidson EL and FL models from the late 1930s to mid-1940s, providing an authentic fit and appearance for restoration projects or vintage rebuilds.
Constructed in Taiwan, the wheel maintains high manufacturing standards, ensuring durability and performance. For optimal setup, V-Twin recommends using a #46-0114 Side Valve Rubber Stem Tube, along with suggested accessories like a 16 inch x 4.00 inch rim rear drop center and polished stainless steel spoke set, which complement the wheel for a complete restoration or upgrade. Proper maintenance and correct installation will ensure this wheel delivers reliable service and retains the vintage look that Harley enthusiasts cherish.
