steel covers for wheels

From what I've heard they are probably one-off customs machined out of aluminum. There are some for harleys and a few metric cruisers but they seem hard to find.
 
Moon Equipment sells ones for cars that can be modified. They used to sell MC specific ones but I havent looked in a long time.
 
mmmm, seem difficult to find.
how about machining it (diy). Anyone did it? some details in arrangement or something?
It could be the right avoiding to buy some expensive whired wheels

I knew those from mooon eyes, but anyone try?
 
Awesome example bikes:


and this mooneyes bicycle:
someyhing like these would be crazy in our cast wheels bobbers
These are the mooneyes covers, there are two types:
1._with fasteners
2.-just snap on


The snap ones could be fixed with nural or some resin bi-component, would be sure enough?
what do you guys think? ;D
 
According to the WM site:


Spoke wheels, steel covers. 3.50 x 16 front - 3.50 x 16 rear.
Coker classic 5.00 x 16 front - 5.00 x 16 rear.
WM stainless steel spindles, bushes, bolts, shims, spacers.


yeah, should work. Try it let us know!

You know those are just covers right? If you tried to have actual solid wheels like that machined, you would be in for a VERY hefty price tag.
 
get some metal trash can lids and make them, that is what i would do, either that or some alum serving trays or ones like servers us in restraunts
 
have fun dealing with crosswinds ;) ;)

i have had crosswinds nearly pick me up when i have my aero (deep dish) wheels on my race bicycles... youll really feel it!
 
If you go to Wrenchmonkeys site and actually read the words, you'll find they are stock Harley Fatboy wheels.
Probably still more than you want to pay though

Maybe cutting an inner hole... minimize the effect ;) Don´t you?

even a 4-5 inch lip is enough to pick up crosswinds.

although technically you should be more aerodynamic in a straight line. the trade off isnt worth it to me for a street bike.
 
The older CB750 has spoked wheels with covers as per WM:

Spoke wheels, steel covers. 3.50 x 16 front - 3.50 x 16 rear.
Coker classic 5.00 x 16 front - 5.00 x 16 rear.
WM stainless steel spindles, bushes, bolts, shims, spacers.

They've since done another CB750 with 16" 'aluminum wheels'

CLUB BLACK #01
Honda CB 750 K

Standard engine. WM custom paint. Standard Carbs. Standard frame,
WM rear frame and seat. Standard tank.
16" aluminum wheels, Coker classic tyres.
 
The Club Black bikes are nothing but show bikes, so i doubt they would ever be ridden :(
They are on show at a club called Club Black in Herning, Denmark (where I live)
