That is a beautiful wheel, what's the diameter? Looks a little bigger than stock from the picture.

Thanks. It’s 14 inches. The camera made the wheel look bigger than it is.

Very nice wheel , do you have any supplier details?
Thanks

This is a handmade wheel by Mike Lempert in South Carolina. I waited a year for it.

Search “ Lempert Wheels “ online.

Geez. Ordered nearly the same wheel from him myself earlier this month and he quoted a February delivery. He must not read his own press. Still, figure it's worth the gamble as the wheels are indeed gorgeous.

I ordered mine in early 2016 and received it in early 2017. Perhaps he has help now. During the construction of my wheel he was working by himself. Waiting a year for anything can be very frustrating. Be patient and keep the lines of communication open. Hopefully your wheel won’t take as long. It’s a nice wheel.

I agree, that is a beautiful wheel. But I'm equally intrigued by the engine-turned dash. Where was that sourced from? The wheel and dash are a perfect match and really complete the vintage look!

Thanks karl120c.

I apologize for hijacking this thread.

The stainless steel dashboard was a labor of love I did over the winter of 2017. I redesigned the central panel adding a radius at top and repositioned the tach/ speedo cutouts. I made templates for the central and side panels including cutouts and holes to be drilled. Very precise measurements. I sent the templates to FPM Metals in Nebraska. They scanned the templates into their CAD/CAM software and the panels were very precisely laser cut out of .030 inch stainless steel. They engine turned the panels with DGL 50 pattern and sent them back to me.

I redesigned the tach/speedo support brackets and had a machinist make these from my templates.

I designed the tach and speedometer bezels and made precise 2 dimensional templates with all needed measurements. These were milled out of solid stainless steel and polished by local machinists.

After everything was finished I installed everything and luckily it all fit perfectly.

It was a lot of fun to see this all come together.

Sportster, that's outstanding! Beautiful result made better by conceiving and executing it yourself!

How did you mount the engine turned stainless?
