Hey everybody, haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd show off my new rind. This is the stock mid-glide front end, has about 2/10's clearance on either side. I haven't ridden with it much yet, but doesn't really feel any different than the 130/90-16 I had previously. Looks a little better in my opinion though.

 

Cool. I'm headed a very similar direction. Even have a 7" headlight waiting.

 

I like that tire. Which brand? And I definitely need to do a 7" headlight.

 

I like it. Details? Wheel size? Is it a midglide hub laced to a 16" hoop up front? Is the rear tire stock or a 16" hoop laced to a dyna hub?

 

Can you take good close-up pic of this inside flange with overlapping spokes all the way out to the rim. Maybe at an angle between these two pics?

 

You guys will like the 7" headlight. Fyi, I made my own mounting block. The stock one was too low and too far forward. I'm running the trucklite phase 7, like it a lot except for how it sticks out past the bezel. I recently installed a $65 "daymaker" from Amazon on a friend's Road King an my initial impressions are very very good. My friend loves it. I personally haven't had a chance to ride with it though.

The front tire is a Metzeler 888. The front wheel is a 16x3 hoop laced to the stock Street Bob mid-glide hub. The rear wheel is a 16x5 hoop laced to the stock hub. The rear tire is a 180/65-16 Metzeler 888.

Does this help? I did a write up when I built these wheels​. You might look it up if you're having trouble lacing it up.

 

Perfect

So with this spoke interference, that spoke bending slightly?...slightly

 

I have a set of Softail Slim wheels and been collecting parts here and there. I'm going to put something similar together when I find another 07 up dyna for a decent price. I lace the rear dyna hub to the rear and adapt an FL front end to the dyna. Nice to know a 150 will work. Love the steam roller look.
Are those apes 14"?

 

Well sure it will work skitchy, a 150 is OK on a 3" rim...what do you think your wife has on her rear (of the bike )

...but you're talking about fitting up in the mid-glide... yes?
