Rims

Until 1929 the factory used Clincher type rims and tires. These reproductions are faithful copies of the period parts with the distinctive slightly arched cross section.

These rims were standard equipment on all 45 cui./750 cc Twins for front wheels, including WLA military models. These are exact reproductions with correctly sized nipple holes for stock-like spokes.

Drop center rims with an exact duplication of the OEM  spoke dimple pattern. Solid and careful workmanship.

From 1929 thru 1940 these rims were standard equipment on all Twins for front and rear wheels, WLA/WLC military models used them until the end of production. These are exact reproductions with correctly sized nipple holes for stock-like spokes. The bare versions even have the correct Kelsey-Hayes (KHW) stamping.

Heavy-Duty rims with rolled edges.

When H-D became majority stockholder of Aermacchi in 1960 it not only added European lightweight motorcycles to the fleet but also opened easy access to Italian high performance components like Borrani flanged aluminum rims, Dell’Orto carburetors, Oldani brakes etc. Consequently it didn’t take long before these were seen on KR series race bikes and in 1964 the first stock Sportsters with flanged alloy rims rolled off the assembly line. After all, race-proven performance parts couldn’t hurt on sporting street bikes. The rims offered here are reproductions of the factory rims from this era.
Made by the renowned Spanish manufacturer Morad.

The world-wide reknowned Akront factory has been renamed to Morad under new ownership. For us bikers this is the only thing which has changed because the rims are the same top class products they used to be. Morad aluminium rims are machined from 6051-T6 aluminium with a highly-polished finish. Thus they are among the lightest rims available.
