Beautiful fxr!! Love that dark green. The blue was o.k but the green really grabs me! Thanks for sharing that.

First thing I would do (and did to my own 99 DWG) is get rid of that quilted couch cushion of a seat.

They work OK with a big *** sissy bar and leather throw-over bags, but otherwise...

If you have spoke rims you can have the jireh cycles rim laced to you hub.

You will need spokes as it is a drop center rim.

It comes in chrome.

I had mine tank dipped and powder coated. It is at the builder’s shop waiting in line to be trued and mounted. [/QUOTE

Actually with that rim you can reuse your factory 19' spokes.....saves you over $150

yes laces right up with 19 inch spokes but my 21 stock spokes would be too long. I believe thease are correct for my wide glide hub. I don’t believe they will work for a mid glide hub. Bobs cycle supply out in az is a great guy to deal with.

I agree with others that the Wide Glide look as what attracted me to the bike in the first place. When I came up, a bobtail rear fender and skinny 21 up front was the "look", no matter if it was a swingarm Shovel or rigid Pan. So I just spent the last 22 years improving the look. A couple of pictures, obviously much has been modified. Big things to work with your question, lowered in the rear with progressive Shocks, plus 2" under in the front. 150 tire squeezed under the stock fender with a narrow belt kit. After that, just lots of tweaks to clean it all up. My bike looked pretty much just like yours when new, just with an Evo and the pinstripping was gold. Good luck.

The great thing about Harley’s is that if you don’t like something you can change it to something you do like....plus there is so much support from the Moco themselves to the aftermarket pretty much anything can be done to your bike.

The downside is that there is a financial cost to all of this.....

I always start with a build sheet, it’s kind of a check list with stuff that needs to be done first (oil change, broken light etc) and then stuff I want to change (handlebars, headlight shocks etc) then the wish list...(everything I always wanted)...a list might keep you on track...

good of luck in your build
