Sinister Wheel InstallWhile looking for a new set of wheels for our black '09 Street Glide, we put a call in to our contact at Sinister Wheel to see what style of wheels the company had to dress up our dresser. After spying the catalog and peeping Sinister's website, we chose a set of all-black Billet Daddy wheels (21-inch front and 18-inch rear) with a 3/4-inch polished aluminum stripe along the rim. We ordered the rear wheel with a cushdrive hub so we could swap the H-D unit directly to the new wheels with no hassle. We also ordered a set of matching polished stainless steel rotors from Sinister to further pimp out our ride. Once the wheels arrived at our shop a short time later, we quickly gathered up our parts and humped them over to Wheel Works so they could mount them on our bike.
