Frequently Asked Questions

Will this wheel fit my Harley without modifications?

Possibly. Custom-laced spoke wheels may require axle spacing or rotor/pulley adjustments. Measure your existing wheel hubs and consult the HardDrive Hub Reference Chart before purchase.

What's included with the wheel?

Chrome valve stem, sealed wheel bearings, spoke sealant for tubeless use, and all necessary hardware for hub-mounted brake rotor installation.

Do these wheels need maintenance?

Yes. Spoke wheels require service interval maintenance that may disturb the sealant. Inspect regularly and reseal as needed — sealant is not covered under warranty.

Will these fit a Narrow Glide hub?

Narrow Glide hubs will not accommodate a Speedo Drive on these wheels. Verify hub compatibility before ordering.

Are 1984–1999 fitments the same as newer models?

No. 1984-1999 wheels come with ¾ inch Timken bearings with outer seal installed and require periodic greasing, unlike newer sealed-bearing wheels.
