This wheel is coated in a three coat candy red. After preparing the wheel rim and hub, the silver base coat is applied. After curing in the oven, a stripe is masked and the candy red is applied. Again, the wheel is cured in the oven afterwhich a final clear coat is applied – and one final cure in the oven. Each coat of powder requires a curing process in the oven. The spokes are twisted chrome and the nipples are chrome – both from Buchanan’s Spoke and Rim.
This wheel uses a wide rim and a stock Harley hub. The wheel bearing used by Harley in their recent models are sealed ball bearings and must be removed before powdercoating. NEW bearings are then installed.
