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.

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.
