with Drum Brake Hub

These are the wheels to replace the worn or missing stock part on your 45”/750cc Flathead. They look close to the factory equipment of the era with black hub and cad (ZnNi) steel spokes. The hub’s internals are also stock so your original axles will fit. The rim has the correct Kelsey-Hayes (KHW) stamping.

These spoked wheels replace missing or worn original parts on classic Harley-Davidson motorcycles, specifically Knucklehead, Flathead, and Panhead models. Each Harley spoked wheel is precisely manufactured to original dimensions and meets the OEM specifications of the respective series.
The wheels are designed for the following models and years:
E(L)/F(LH) 1936–1966, U(LH) 1937–1948 (front and rear), and W(L) 1937–1952 (rear only). Production according to original specifications ensures correct hub width, rim height, offset, and the proper hole pattern. Spoke gauge and tension also meet the technical requirements of the factory setup, guaranteeing stable and precise wheel alignment.
In the original configuration, Harley rims and hubs were black with cadmium-plated spokes. Alternatively, the spoked wheels are also available fully chrome-plated, providing an aesthetically appealing yet technically identical option.
All spoked wheels are compatible with stock Harley brake drums, rim brakes, and axle dimensions of the respective years. They are ideal for authentic restoration or as high-quality replacements for vintage Harley E-, F-, U-, and W-series models.

For riders of classic Harley-Davidson models who emphasize low maintenance, modern, low-maintenance wheel bearings are a practical choice. These fully assembled spoked wheels are designed as a replacement for the original factory equipment but feature modernized star hubs with tapered roller bearings for increased durability and reduced maintenance. Suitable for all stock drum brakes.

Complete stock replacement wheels, laced with chromed spokes and trued, ready to install.

These complete spoke wheels by Bates are equipped with particularly light flanged aluminum rims and hamburger drum brakes as originally mounted on XL 1964-1972 and early Super Glides. Ideal for restoration projects, but they also cut a fine figure on classic choppers and other custom bikes.
