SO,
I've been looking for some Cragar or chrome reverse style rims for my 2017 Tri Glide to no avail.
Not a lot of custom rim choices for the 4 lug HD configuration. Back spacing is the problem.

Then it dawned on me,
if someone in the aftermarket world would make a 5 lug axle kit with updated brake rotors and calipers,
because HD rotors are,
well,
lets just say not very good,
then both problems would be taken care of in one shot.
This would open up a large market of aftermarket rims that would now fit.

I suppose you could just change the axle's and rotors to a 5 lug configuration to accommodate the stock brake calipers too.
What's your thoughts ?
 
There’s also a few companies that sell replacement rear axles assemblies that have 5 bolt wheel patterns with 4 piston brake calipers. I suspect they are all the same axle, but try looking at DNA Specialty, IMC Trike, Mototeks, and Zodiac.

You might give Frankenstein Trikes a call also since they specialize in a lot of custom Trike axles.
