    Steeped hub

    Trying to see if i have a original or reproduction stepped hub . Are the reproductions brazed . How can i tell them apart?

    I've seen reproductions hubs both ways. Some apparently are cut from a solid casting and some are brazed assembly but both were very obvious not OEM. Wrong profile and too smooth of a finish.

      The repops I've seen have the flat type spoke flange with a step added, rather than the thinner radiused flange as an original.

        I agree with Robbie on the flat flange on Tedds repops & they dont look like OEM flanges for Duo-electra glides.Too crisp.
