    HiYa. Need help to have these wheels identified. Any clue what year & model they might have been used on?
    Thank You.

    Both are Harley-Davidson, and should be 40 spoke.
    Front hub and wheel; 1915-1921 BT, however, I think the bearing dust shields would make it 1921.
    Rear hub and wheel, 1915-1920 Bt. Early hubs (up to mid-'19) were 2.375" between spoke flanges, later (late '19 +) hubs 3.187".
    I'll bet some careful cleaning would reveal Olive Green paint which would place them from 1917 and on.
    Nice set of wheels and very complete.

      A Great BIG Thank You Eric. Your knowledge never fails to amaze us. 'You are the Man'~haha.
      One other question, what's a good efficient way to clean the crud?

        Anymore, I don't use anything harsher than dish detergent, and a mild Scotch-Brite pad on grimy painted surfaces. Lately I've been gently taking ancient red paint off the rear wheel of my '16F H-D and discovered gray paint and traces of the pin stripes. The soapy water really makes the old paint pop, then I wipe it down with WD-40 on a rag. Amazing how tenacious old paint can be.
