Roland Sands 16" Rear Wheel For Harley Touring 09-13

RSD 16" x 5" Rear Wheel For Harley Touring 2009-2013

Roland Sands wheels are the epitome of subtlety and design smashed together in one stealthy, high performance package. Bolt a set of these on for instant tough. RSD wheels begin with an aerospace-quality aluminum forging that place the highest material strength in the same direction as the operating load, creating a light and strong wheel. At that point, an array of styles are created using CAD software, and each is subject to rigorous and intensive testing. Some of the tests include:

• Torsional Load Testing - The torsional load testing machine simulates starting and stopping, as well as the occasional burnout. Load-sensitive rams cycle back and forth replicating real-world-style torture in an attempt to rip the hub out of the rim.
• Side Load Testing - Side load testing replicates the incredible stress a wheel is subject to during cornering. You can trust your RSD wheels will withstand those canyon roads and track days because they've come out of the simulated side load test unscathed.
• Radial Load Testing - The radial load testing machine simulates a load on a tire/wheel assembly while taking miles and miles of road with the occasional beating. The wheel is forced to endure countless rotations with one flaw sending the design back to the drawing board.
• Impact Testing - The massive impact testing unit simulates potholes and road hazards that a wheel is subject to during its life on the road. Each and every wheel design is wrapped with a tire and hard-edge hits are replicated. The wheel must retain air pressure to pass.

RSD wheels feature fully sealed, maintenance-free bearings, double radial rim lip grooves, and can be matched with discs, pulleys, and air cleaners to set off your investment. Dump some unsprung weight and make a statement.

Finish Options:

• Contrast Cut finish starts with a polished body that has been anodized black, and then recut to display the raw metal beneath (Black/Machined Aluminum)
• Black Ops, RSD's newest surface treatment, features gloss black finish coupled with textured black finish on the same part (Black/Black)

Fitment Information:

• 2009-2013 Harley Davidson Street Glide (FLHX), Road Glide (FLTR), Road King (FLHR), and Electra Glide excluding Tri Glide and Street Glide Trike (FLHTCUTG, FLHXXX)
• You must verify style of brakes (ABS or standard) to purchase the correct wheel. 
• Wheel size change will allow you to utilize all stock components with the exception of fenders. Fenders need to be checked for clearance - differences in tire brands and sizes can yield different overall wheel/tire diameters.
• When selecting custom wheels, tires used for the application must have a load index and speed rating equal to or greater than factory specifications. Consult your manufacturer or mechanic for information.
