V-Factor 40 Spoke Rear Wheel For Harley 2000-2007

V-Factor 40 Spoke Laced Rear Wheel for Harley-Davidson (2000–2007)

Bring back the iconic “old-school” look of your V-Twin with the V-Factor 40 Spoke Rear Wheel. Specifically designed for the 2000–2007 Harley-Davidson era, this wheel is the ultimate combination of traditional aesthetics and modern manufacturing standards. Whether you are restoring a classic Twin Cam Softail or looking to give your Touring Bagger a clean, laced appearance, this 16″ x 3.50″ wheel delivers the mirror-finish chrome styling and structural integrity required for the open road.

High-Lustre Chrome-Plated Steel Construction

The V-Factor laced wheel is built around a heavy-duty steel rim and a precision-machined hub, both finished in show-quality chrome. This triple-plated finish is designed to resist the elements and maintain its brilliance with minimal maintenance. The 40 high-tensile spokes are laced and trued to ensure maximum concentricity, providing a smooth, vibration-free ride. This is the ideal Stage 1 styling upgrade for riders who want to move away from heavy cast wheels toward a lighter, more classic wire-spoke design.

Precision Engineered for 1-Inch Axles

During the 2000–2007 production run, Harley-Davidson utilized a 1-inch rear axle for its stability and strength. This V-Factor wheel is precision-engineered to accommodate 1-inch sealed wheel bearings, ensuring a perfect fit within your factory swingarm. It serves as a direct replacement for OEM part number 40975-00. By maintaining factory dimensions, this wheel allows you to reuse your stock brake rotors and pulley/sprocket, making the transition to a custom laced wheel a straightforward, “bolt-on” process.

Sealed Rim for Tubeless Tire Capability

While traditional spoke wheels often require an inner tube, this V-Factor rear wheel features a modern drop-center rim design. When paired with a proper rim strip and high-quality tubeless tire, it offers improved heat dissipation and safety over old-style tube setups. The 16″ x 3.50″ size is the standard fitment for the most popular Harley-Davidson 150mm and 130mm rear tires, ensuring you have access to a wide range of tread patterns from top manufacturers.

Why Choose V-Factor Performance?

V-Factor is a leader in aftermarket Harley parts, known for delivering high-quality components that don’t break the bank. Their spoke wheels undergo rigorous testing for lateral and radial runout to ensure they meet the demands of high-torque Twin Cam engines. When you choose V-Factor, you are investing in a chassis reliability component that is trusted by custom builders for its ease of installation and long-lasting finish.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

To keep your 40-spoke wheel looking its best, we recommend regular cleaning with a non-acidic wheel cleaner and periodic checks of the spoke tension. When mounting this wheel, it is the perfect time to upgrade to All Balls Racing 1-inch bearings and a new drive belt. Always ensure your brake rotor bolts are torqued to factory specifications and used with blue threadlocker to prevent loosening from V-Twin vibrations.
