Might as well tack on an extra $750+/- for the matching rotor and pully to what ever rim you choose to get. I went with the stock size replacement, 17" by 6".

I have to agree with renegade. I like the chrome HD pulley cover for the money. And one of those links in a prev post showed the chrome stock wheel lookin pretty sweet.
I've got the chrome pulley cover and would like to eventually have my solid wheel chromed.

I just changed my pulley. I had the factory one with a chrome cover, but changed to the HD Reaper Pulley to match my front wheel. This way, when I change the rear wheel to match, I won't have to "cough up" the extra $359.00 for the pulley. I noticed in an above post a link to an eBay store that has chrome exchange rear wheels for $375.00.......STAY AWAY from this company. Chrome That Hog is the name of the store. Search this forum- I've read a lot of really bad reviews about them. Just a heads-up. I've never dealt with them personally, but I've seen tons of bad stuff. By the way- everyone's scooters are looking nice these days. Renegade- congrats on the chrome engine- I love mine. The chrome oil tank is a nice addition also. I decided not to do that one, but it definitely stands out on your black bike. Great work! 78 degrees here in Oklahoma tomorrow, but 45-50 mph winds....don't think I'm going to do much riding.

Anyone have an issue with their Heavy breather wiggling? it's not the filter element but the chrome housing around the base of the filter. I wonder if that adhesive ring is just not enough.

renegade,
sorry cant help you out with the stock wheel, but who did you decide to order from? Will you be getting the same wheel you have now or the "solid" one ?
cheers.

Put on my chrome primary cover today. God it was frustrating. It was not my day. Everything came off fine, leaked a little oil, no biggy. Was able to reuse the gasket just put fresh oil on it to help it seal. My stupid ass leaves the cap off the quart of oil and kick it over. Normally would be quick enough to pick it up and not waste much. NOT TODAY! I didn't notice until it was all poured out onto the garage floor. Luckily I was able to go get another quart before the local shop closed (then get some kitty litter for the oil).
In the end, it all went together fine and looks good. I think I'm getting either an 18" spoked rear wheel or a bare bones solo soon. Dad forgot my brirthday and it's gonna be a late present. I hope it goes with the wheel though, it will make a bigger difference in the appearance on my bike. Plus it's a NICE deal and I'm not sure I'd get one like that again. Less than $200 bucks shipped for a 18x5,5 with a 200 Avon. Everything is new, it just was used for a mockup on a bike. I figure I can get a bare bones for $135 any day of the week and this wheel is too good to pass up. I'll post pics.

Freakin’ snow… Last weekend it was 24 degrees (75° F), and this weekend we get a foot of snow and will likely get another foot of before it’s over.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum (though I have been lurking for a month or so), and a new Harley owner as well. I had several Japanese sport bikes, and then a bit of a family break, and about a month ago bought the Harley I always wanted. I'm in Australia where they still do the standard this year, and I bought an '08 FXST dealer demo (better than waiting six months or more!).
The dealer had already done several mods;
mini ape bars
reaper front wheel
smoke turn signals
LED tail light
ironside pegs and controls
Vance & Hines sideshot pipes and FuelPack
SE filter and billet aircleaner
Since owning the bike I've added;
Chrome engine kit
Chrome inner primary
Various Harley skull bits and pieces..mirrors, covers etc
flush mount fuel cap and guage
The next mod on the list is a reaper rear wheel to match the front, and then of course more chrome :) I'm very happy to have found the forums, and thanks for all the ideas and information I've already got. I've been having a fantastic time with the bike, with a very active bunch of friends and HOG chapter to go riding with, and even back and forth to the shops or work I still have a permanent grin.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the Hog club. Looks like you got a nice one with a great start there.
BTW That grin doesn't go away. It just gets bigger, so be careful of the bugs.

08FXST,
Are those bars Harley 10" mini ape bars also used on the FXSTC? Did you have to extend any wiring or cabling? I have the stock FXST handle bar setup which measures a riser height of about 4" and a bar height of about 6 1/2". So I was thinking if I go with a 1 or a 1 1/2" riser and 10" mini apes, I should be able to use my existing cables and wiring harness.

priceamp...they are the Harley mini apes, but they had been put on by the dealer before I bought the bike, so I don't know if they had to do any extensions. I can tell you that for me at 5' 10", they are very comfortable.
