The bike looks real good. The guys at Black Bike are great. They did my wheels and front end for me. And keep the Apes. They look good.

Jumping around like a little kid as im putting her together tonight,
had S&S a/c cover powdercoated wrinkle black,
wide glide trees and lowers powdercoated with progressive fork springs,
WCC "FTW" timing cover andBlack Bike Wheels
21" x3.5" front rim with Metz 880 120/70 rubber.
Thats the stuff I did today.
With it together i'm almost thinking of ditching the 14" apes
and going with something real low, thing just looks fast to me.
Anyways thanks for looking just needed to share.

Muddy, the machine is really looking good.
Looking forward to seeing the pix after you are done with the personalization.
I gotta say the balance of the black/chrome/silver is very tastefully executed.
Not to mention the striping.

Another vote for the apes ...also, I like the Von Dutch pinstriping. The front wheel looks cool without the fender, but obviously you've got to be practical. Now you just need to convert to forward controls and you'll be set ....
Congrats on your new mods ... your bike looks great!

Well... not sure all that centering on the hub thing makes sense but ill try and give them a call today and see what they have to say... I wanna keep everything as easy as possible by useing the same size rim and tire I have now. I would like to use the rotor I have now but not sure that will be an option. Ill let you know what happens thanks again.
