Default Winters here, getting antsy.....pulling it apart next week.

Got everything in and cant wait to do it, this site has been giving me great ideas. So ive been taking pics to get an idea of what's going to happen. I'm going to;

1) Wide Glide tree's powdercoated black along with lowers.
2) BlackBike wheels 21" x3.5" wheel with Metz 880 120/70 21" tire
3) 08 Fatbob front fender (wont need spacers to put fender in, like stocker would)
4) break rear wheel down and have the rim/hub powdercoated black, rebuilt with stainless spokes?
5) Poly bushings and chrome hardware for bars
6) Hotop laydown license plate mount (I have the Kuryakyn curved but want to go lower)
7) 170/60 Metz 880 rear
8) ignition switch on dash
9) powdercoat headlight trim ring, lower and move headlight further forward by about 3/4" down and out.
10) brass foot and shifter pegs from Hippykillers.

A couple of questions...1) are rear oem spokes already stainless? 2) if Metz 880 170/60 rear is a radial can I run it with bias front?

stock spokes on your bike are chromed, not stainless
