2. RW 21 x 3.5 front and 16 x 3.5 rear spokes (twisted i think)...tires metz front -diamond back ww.....what do i do about the rear tire? gonna use rw rotors but stock harley pully with chrome cover.

3. exhaust: cholo 36.....sampson does not have them ready yet for the 2012....any options?

4. shotgun air. What about the front--2" progressive lowers...do i need anything else to mod the suspension?

5. bars: wild 1 14''s...i am only 5'9...are they too tall...should i do 12's?

6. Tail dragger rear fender....anyone know of a ness style in steel not fiberglass?

7. seat?

2. a 21x3.5 fw I would go with a Vee Rubber 120/70-21 (no other tire manufacturer makes a 120 ww)

3. wait for the samsons ( I heard they might be coming out with 42"s)

5. go 16"s (bobberEvo88 is your height or might even be shorter )

7. LaPerra Barebones

hope that helps

Nice choice bro.
1. Nice color sled
2. Stay FAR away from Vee. I have one, CRAP. Get ahold of Tab at Diomond Back Tire and get a 120/70-21 WW metzler. Check out Country Deluxe thread on here about that tire. Its bad ***. Im getting one next week.
3. Wait for the Cholos to come out. I have VH longshots on my sled and love em.
4. Shotgun shock. Best piece of the puzzle. Talk to Drew at Dr Vtwin. Hell hook you up. Good dude.
5. 16" wildone Chubbys. IMO
6. ?
7. Danny Gray Buttcrack. Very lo pro and real leather.

I'm 5-10, 14"s are perfect for me, but you might dig 16's. I have Wild1's, but you might consider Carlini Flyin' or Gangster...

18" Gangster:


16" Flying

Don't forget the license plate relocation kit and new tombstone from Soft Brake.

Oh, and I'm 5'9'' and run 14's. The 16's made my hands go numb really quick on long trips, FWIW.
