Love the look.

Are those wheels off a Switchback?

Thought so, I had a Switchback last year.
(In fact, I seem to recall you from over on the FLD Owners Forum... )
Question now is, what was involved in making them work on a Slim?

Default rasy
Good morning everyone, very simple change, front is a straight bolt on, rear needs a pulley spacer and a new axle left spacer.

Tyres, your choice I use 160/70-17 ( Michelin) a little smaller then a Dunlop, this require about 1 hour work to space the rear guard so it want touch anything.

You may want to go 150/70-17 no work required.

I understand is all about the look, but the changes to the handling is amazing , due to lighter wheels
the front is in all 7 pound lighter the rear is 4 pounds lighter .

To all keep riding safe

Regards

Dynaunder
