Achieving the Perfect Fitment
Custom wheels like this Harddrive 48-spoke unit are designed to open up a world of customization possibilities for your Harley or Indian. While they offer a universal V-twin fitment, it's critical for riders to understand that installation may require adjustments. Always measure your current wheel hubs and be prepared to potentially modify axle spacing, or rotor and pulley spacing to achieve the precise fitment needed for safe and optimal performance on your specific motorcycle.
