1st off let me say I love my Vegas it has been the best bike I have ever owned. It has over 47k miles on it (my miles) & has never left me stranded, well it has but that was because it does need fuel to run! That's due to my Knukleheadness not the bikes!
I'm looking to change the wheels on my 03 Vegas from spokes to mags.
The spoked wheels have not held up as well as I would have liked. They are pitting and chrome is looking pretty sad & there was also some heavy powder-dust under the rubber rim strip on the inside of the rim (front tire only). Weird has any one else found this?
My question is has anyone put wheels or more specifically a rear wheel from the Vegas model years after 03 on a 03 Vegas, cause they changed the width of the rear rim from 3.5" to 4" on the 04's & up? The front stayed the same size.
Thanks!
P.S. many thanks to Victory for putting such an odd ball tire on the rear but then more so for changing it after the first year!
