hey joe - yea, the height is why im considering them - i wanna raise the rear an inch or so possibly - this seems like a fairly cheap way of doing - not before a few other things (like a kick *** pair of mags ) - just thinking outloud

by the way - bberk has them on the way to you and ill hit your paypal this weekend

holy crap that thing is sick Beastcycle - I like those Streetrod wheels alot!? What rear shock are you running? cant tell from pic - I shoulda been more clear im referring to the vrod rear shocks for the thread topic

but **** - talk about anything here with pics that look that good!

Not to change topic but vrod front lowers are in the future so i can run dual disc (i know not with the mags im about to do) but a street rod wheel makes sense! I was thinking older fxd/sportster mag - does the street rod wheel have to run wide glide trees? or would midglide with one off spacers work? hmmmmmmm

Sorry, it was me who not read topic right... And my english is not good... I dont remember the name of rear shock, can have a look tomorrow..
I dont know if I answer your question.. but v-rod front fits right on oem street bob trippeltree. No spacer need. On the backwheel I have to make oem street bob pully to fit. small case..

no worries amigo! I added more confusion by thinking you went with a nighttrain/wideglide front end and streetrod wheels - re read your post - it all make sense now.

very good idea!

and yea post rear shock info when you can
