Hello, I am looking for a set of 16” spoked wheels for my 1981 Goldwing so I can begin my customization. Can you help me with locating some and telling me if other makes of bikes wheels will match up? For example 2003 softail HD wheels, will they work?
Thanks
16” wheels

Re: 16” wheels
you will have to do a lot of research. suggest you stick with early goldwing and changing the whole front end, as suggested, might be the easiest for the front.

Re: 16” wheels
Think Octane put 17's on both ends by using HD rims and GW hubs and lacing them with Bucannon custom spokes. So not an easy solution.
