Garwood Custom Cycles out of Lexington, North Carolina, is as American as it gets. Whether it’s full custom builds, swingarms, or wheels, it has just what you’re looking for, like these Zion wheels we put on a 2016 Road Glide. While this job can easily be done in a driveway, we always take our wheel swaps to our good friends at Wheel Works in Garden Grove, California, for the ultimate in ride-in, ride-out ease of installation.
Start by removing the bags for easier access to the rear wheels.
