Gimme til next weekend. I'm taking him the triple trees in the morning. Wheels are on already. Just working on stance now.
I went with solid chrome fat spokes. Not sure about that decision.

This is the only picture I have on my new phone. 23" up front, slammed, with a rake and 18 on rear with a shotgun. There are a few more pics on my profile of my Train. Hope this helps, good luck throw up some pics when it's complete.

I have a 4 degree HHI rake, 2 under DLC tubes, progressive 2 inch drop (spacers cut at .75"). With the race tech gold valves I dropped in the tubes and HD heavy fork oil, I have zero bottoming out. It rides extremely good considering it's lower than a lawn mower haha.
