Heads Up 21" Reinforcer Front Wheel sold by Eastern Performance Cycle BAD EXPERIENCE

[Vman]

The wheel You had was definitely made in China, though...? I'm only concerned because I have a bud who just bought a 21" reinforcer from Sport Chrome, so...

Hey doc. Sounds like your one of those guys that thinks the motor company is always out to get you. WISE UP Wheel came fully assembled from EASTERN PERFORMANCE . Rim tire rotors bearings.

WHAT HE SAID!

Thanks for taking the time to post this...

Don't go by what I say . Call any custom wheel dealer and ask They will tell you the wheel is made in china and its cast.Its not a secret.

Not saying I don't believe You at all... just asking for confirmation. Thank You!

Well, a quick call to Eastern Performance confirmed two things:

1) The Reinforcer wheel that they sell does indeed come from Sport Chrome in Cali
2) It's made in China

Wow. Now I can see why You had the problems that You did. Sad.

Thank you for posting about your bad experience, I am sure this information will help another rider in the future.

If someone from Eastern Performance reads this, GET YOUR **** TOGETHER and take care of your customers.

My 2012 Street Glide with 21" Extreme Machine Fierce front wheel. The rim and matching rotors are all billet and CNC cut. Tire is a Dunlop American Elite. Bolted up and no vibration. The wheel is made by Performance Machine.

I bought one from sport chrome and it was flawless.Got a great price and the bike handles better than it did with the 19 on it

When buying a new custom wheel there should never be any doubt concerning the quality and safety of that wheel. Buy the 21 reinforcer and you may be telling your own horror story on this forum.
