after. I went with a 21x3.5" in front and 18x5.5" in the rear. The front of the bike was raised about 1/2-3/4". I may slide thefork tubes up to even the ride out. I am in the process of remounting the front fender I need to file the holes a bit to raise the fender 1/4".

Custom wheels have a big impact on the overall looks of the bike and your wheels look very nice!

I remember you had someone photoshop the wheels on the bike a few weeks back. You made a great choice! Didn't you have a 17X5.5 on the back originally? That's what I have now and, thanks to you, it looks like new wheels are in my (distant) future.

Great looking bike, wiegs!

Yes, the photoshop really helped me decide. It was still a tough decision. It is a lot of dough to spend if you don't like the finished product. I think the original rear wheel size is 17x4.25. I really love the120/70-21 in front.


ORIGINAL: Starboard

wiegs-If you don't mind me asking, where did the wheels come from ? They give the bike a custom look. Great work.

The wheels are hogpro "dominators".

Here are some more pics with my touring setup and the front fender mounted. I plan to get a new fender, but probably not this year.I don't think it looks too bad.

Went for a ride with my new wheels and the bike handles great. The only negative is the front wheel is heavier and you can feel that in the bars. Overall very pleased!
