Default 2012 FXDB Finally Completed

So I finally got the bike all put back together after the fairly long process of converting to a 21" front wheel and a 180 rear tire. Only long for monetary reasons and powder coating.

21" Jireh Cycles wheel on stock hub w/ Buchanan's SS spokes and nipples & 120/70-21 Pirelli Night Dragon front tire
180/60-17 Pirelli Night Dragon rear tire on stock wheel

Gloss black powder on the new front wheel & hub, center of brake disk and also on stock trees and hardware.

Only need to repair bad fill job on rear fender, and will probably be done on this bike.

The tires handle great. Bike leans very easy with the aggressive rolled tires.

21" wheels make such a difference. Looks great.

I just noticed your rear TS location, that's pretty unique, haven't seen that before; way to change it up

Looks like it all came together nicely. Well done! Oh, another observation: Don't you think the mirror should be on the left side? Better viewing in normal riding conditions...

ps: Where in Cali are you?

Bike looks sweet! Not sure about the "completed" part. Stay on this forum long enough and you'll have continuous mods! Ask me how I know?!?
Again, Great looking machine!
