WHEEL BUILDING 101 W

hen it comes to anything to do with wheels, there’s no better experts than Wheel Werks in Garden Grove, California. They have been our go-to guys for years and are the ideal people to show us how a wire wheel gets made. In some cases, it might be cheaper to have a new wheel built and laced up than going out and purchasing a new one, especially if you have a good working hub. While lacing a wheel isn’t the most complex type of work, it does require some very specialized pieces of machinery. The truing of a wheel is also a bit of an art form to know how to tighten just the right amount on each spoke to make the wheel as balanced as possible. HB

.COM p It’s important to add a little bit of oil to each spoke. Make sure when tightening you get an accurate torque. If not, they will unbind and become loose after a few miles.

1981 to 2006 (except 2006 Dyna)

• Narrow Rotor fits in Softail/Dyna, voltage regulator mounts in stock location Available for Evo and Twin Cam Engines p After removing the tape truing begins. This involves tightening of different spokes as you spin the wheel to create a balanced wheel (as possible). Knowing where and how much to tighten is a bit of an art.

• Precision wound 3Phase Stators provides 25 AMPS at idle, 40 AMPS continuously above 2,800 RPM!

• Vented rotor keeps stator cooler to maintain maximum output.

• Custom designed flanged seal spacer provides maximum support for the vented rotor.

1990 to 2006 (except 2006 Dyna)

• 6: 1 Planetary gearing for superior mechanical efficiency compared to 4 44: 1 and 2.86: 1 in other starter motors

• Special Neodymium Magnets provide more power with half the current draw of other 2KW starters The only starter of its kind in the industry!

• A must have for high compression, large displacement engines p Finally the offset must be set. Each wheel has a slight offset depending on your application. The amount of offset was measured before the original wheel was taken apart.

The Highest Performance starter available!

• Series Voltage Regulator provides 14.2V from idle on up!

1970 to 1999 BT (except injected models) & 1971-2003 XL (except “S” models)

• Performance advance curves for engines from mild to wild!

• Tunable VOES adds 5 to 10 degrees vacuum advance p Once correctly trued, it spins like a top!

• Easy installation with LED static timing light.

• Selectable RPM limiter from 6,000 RPM to unlimited.

• Systems for electric start, kick start, and race engines.
