MSI - Two New 2D Wheel
Sizes and New Trike Blank
“We offer 28 wheel blank sizes in 2D and 3D
formats, rotors, pulleys and sprockets, and stock a
wide selection of tire fitments, including white walls,
from Vee Rubber and Shinko.
“Our new trike wheel is a direct response to
customer demand for a new and improved the trike
specific wheel blank. Forged in the USA, this trike
wheel blank starts from 110 pounds of 6061-T6
prime aluminum and is machined down to a trim 39
pounds.
“This 18” x 7.0” trike wheel features an automotive
format and has an offset of +.350 (9 mm) and will
fit like an OEM wheel. This is the largest wheel size
you can use on the trikes without modifications to
the rear fenders - it needs no spacers and has the
Trike wheel blank soft lip look to match the front wheel. There are two
tire options for this wheel - 225/45R18 or
215/45R18.
For those customizers who want to see their wheel
design realized in 21 or 23 x 5.5” splendor, South
Gate, California based MSI says it has just the right
blank application for you.
“Just like all our wheels, these blanks start from a
solid bar of prime 6061 aluminum that is forged into
34 or 40 lbs of top quality soft lip, centered, off-set
free custom loveliness with a .750” web thickness,”
says Sales Manager Lizette Hotinger.

Paint ‘em Black
S&S Cycle says that “carburetors are a bit
magical” and of all companies, it should know!
“They drink from a tank of volatile liquid, mix
some air they found laying around and create a
perfectly proportioned explosive mixture - yet
allow you to control the delivery with a subtle twist
of your wrist. Magic, indeed.”
S&S Cycle long ago sorted the wizardry of mixing
air and fuel into a “joyous recipe for horsepower
and happiness” and when not being all poetic
about the dark arts
they are being
artistically dark!
Having previously
only
been
produced
in
limited quantities and
sizes, these new Blacked
out versions of the
legendary and highly
tunable Super E and Super G carbs
are now being offered as a permanent part of the
armory S&S has available for dealers looking to
elevate their customers’ Big Twins, FXRs or
Sportsters.
