The Drag Specialties Gloss Black Laced Rear Wheel is a premium and high-quality aftermarket component designed to provide a classic, timeless aesthetic with a modern edge for a specific range of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. This 16″ x 3″ rear wheel is a perfect upgrade for Sportster models from 2008 through 2020, offering a significant visual transformation from a cast wheel to a more traditional and aggressive laced design. It is critically important to note that this wheel is engineered specifically for bikes without an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and is not compatible with ABS-equipped models.

Furthermore

The classic appeal of a laced or spoked wheel is undeniable, and Drag Specialties has modernized this look with a durable and striking gloss black finish. The entire wheel, from the hub to the spokes and the rim, is finished in a high-quality gloss black powder coat. This not only provides a sleek, modern, and aggressive aesthetic but also offers a robust layer of protection against the elements, road grime, and corrosion. This finish is a popular choice for custom builds, as it provides a clean, understated look that can either be the centerpiece of the bike’s style or a subtle complement to other blacked-out components.

In addition

Beyond its aesthetics, the wheel is constructed for durability and reliability. Laced wheels are known for their ability to absorb impacts, and this one is no exception, providing a strong and reliable foundation for a safe ride. The precision-engineered hub is designed to be a direct replacement for the factory unit, ensuring a straightforward installation. The 16″ x 3″ size is the correct specification for this generation of Sportsters, allowing for the use of standard-sized rear tires.
