With correct spokes, rims & hubs they should almost lace themselves! Kenny Buchanan is a great and very helpful guy. Their Stainless Steel Spoke Sets are the best. Rears go right together. Fronts you need to decide if you want to upgrade to next bigger spoke which is recommended, however your rim must have spoke holes slightly enlarged. Do before rechrome of course. Front rim has different nipple hole alignment with pancake brakes compared to any other rim made for H-Ds. Any Harley looks great with chrome rims and SS spokes. I understand the SS spokes have been accepted as correct for restorations in general.

Hey Sean,
Looking at my original 53 rolling chassis with 19" rims and early 52-53 rear hub (like your 52)
rim spacing
rear wheel- left side, 1/2" from rim edge to hub flat side.
front wheel- right side, dead center from rim edge to spoke flange.
